I was busily digging out a stump from a redbud tree and things got a little intense. Little 4" diameter tree had 2" and larger roots going every which way. While trying to break the roots off the stump with the hoe I got a little more than I bargained for while trying to rack back the bucket toward the stick and as I gently pushed down on the reverse pedal my shoe went "squish."
Squish?
Hydraulic oil all over my shoe. Traced the source to a loose fitting to the 3rd function circuit. At only 11 hours! That said it was an easy, quick fix. Tightened the fitting back down an all was good so far.
Does this kind of thing happen a lot? Or is this just a freakazoid one-off earlier hour thing? What been your experience?
