Ever since the big ice storm in January, I have been cleaning up. One tactic has been to lift limbs that are barely attached until they break loose and fall. Have been really careful about angles and heights, etc., BUT today a six inch by twenty foot long limb fell back toward the tractor and landed on the ROPS. Did some minor damage to the canopy that can be fixed.

Be careful out there. It can happen even after the best precautions have been taken.

Wow, 6 inch by 20 feet could really hurt or kill. Glad you are OK and the tractor is not hurt too badly.

A good reminder for the rest of us.
