I had a rough first day. Went to drive down a very steep hill with a lake at teh bottom. I didn't know that in 2WD you basically have 1 wheel braking, so slide down the slope nearly flipping over and nearly going into the lake (I had presence of mind to drop the FEL, which caused the tractor to pivot 180 and almost flipped me.
I tried to lift some logs with a chain that wasn't centered on the FEL and almost flipped over (no ballast)
I learned the hard way that driving through the woods if a branch hits your BH levers bad things happen, the branch caused the BH to pivot downhill putting me on 2 wheels... now its locked with the locking pins anytime I drive!
I've learned a lot more over the years, but the biggest thing is to stop and think "how can this go bad" before doing anything.
