There should be a section entitled "Hope nobody saw me do that!"

Hey did you guys see the ABC evening news? During Prince William's huge wedding ceremony, he drove his vintage Aston Marten out of the palace with the parking brake on (televised to millions)!

He's one of us! I wonder which model Kubota he owns, probably a BX24.

Not yet but.....Have you ever raised a 3 point implament to the top with the ROPs lowered? I have-not once but three times.

On my B series there is no problem to do that, so I get a pass on that one.


OTOH - I don't know about other tractors or sizes of operators but I forgot one of the most common and embarrassing mishaps with my B2630 tractor -

The shift/3pt/PTO levers are the PERFECT height and position to get caught in the leg openings of shorts when jumping down from my perch....

I am getting pretty good at catching myself, but the first couple of times were not so pretty- both my denim shorts and family jewels suffered more than an indignity.

riprap,

I have done that more times than I like to admit too. The first time I thought I broke my arm when hit the ground.

I had to quit wearing shorts on my Bota, they keep getting caught on things and jerking me around. So far I haven't hit the ground? Besides the engine heat when using the tiller is pretty warm on bare-ole skin.

 

[chucko]

am I the only one that gets hit on the head

quit counting the number of times I have banged my head on the top

and one time I was looking backwards at the box blade and turned around just in time to see the 6 inch limb that had been caught smack me in the side of the face. Hit me so hard I could not remember if I had my glasses on or not. Found them about 10' behind the tractor
like getting smacked in the head with a baseball bat

I was out dragging an area that I had some trees knocked down from a tornado a few years ago. I dug up the root bases and filled in the holes from where they were at. In the spring after the thaw.... Sinkhole!!! Good times!!!

Wow! That's the worst compact tractor stuck I have seen in a while, mud up over the floorboards.

I posted this in the safty part of the fourms but it also fits here I guess lol.

yeah we all love to dig in sand but you gotta be careful when digging in sand. It's just not stable, it can NOT be compacted!!! Case in point when you dig in sand STAY AWAY FROM THE EDGES!!!! were putting in a new shop and today we had the cement truck come to pour the walls on the hill side of the shop but after I said keep the truck at least 4feet away from the edge. no one listens to me where I'm just 23 years old the older folks (sorry to you older ones out there this dosent apply to all of you but just the ones in this case right now) anyways what do I know I'm only the young one here so what happens well lets see

the hole about 3.5 feet away from the driveway 3.3 feet or one meter is the closest you should be to any excavation

the truck is here with 6 yards of cement

ummm thats to close guys

ummm is anyone gonna listen to me I said thats to close ******

ummm told you so?

SOOOOOOOOOO lucky that truck driver has NO Idea how lucky he is

this truck driver better buy a loto ticket tonight on his way home from work before his luck runs out

this is better but dont get any closer

Whats it take for some people to listen to others? I hate to say it but with some people it takes something like this or worse.

Good photos for a Young guy?? You should watch a 130 ft heavy crane with concrete bucket start to fall after the shoring give way.Same type errors, leverage and weight. The next truck was lucky too, wasn't he?

It's only a problem if you can't fix it!

lol That was the same truck and same driver but I think his shorts were a different color at the time of the last photo.
