Hi Lanse, I posted about being careful around trees with your tractor the other day. Well Guess what! I almost got taken out of the big picture by a big hickory limb that decided to go parachuting and forgot the chute. I had just passed (In low gear)under that tree which is over 80 ft tall when not more than 10 ft behind me I hear a crash. The limb never hit any other limbs on the way down and I did"nt hear it break off because it was so high up and the H was pulling a hill. I was at least 15 ft away from the tree and there was No wind either!. The limb just decided to let go! Almost at the right place at the wrong time. Even us old timers who are careful can get hurt around trees. It reminded me of something I told someone years ago. All these trees and tree limbs in the woods will eventually land on the ground one way or another, you want to be far away when it happens.

Ya, but this time all I did was drive under it. wasn"t cutting it, Chain was piled up under the tractor seat, didn"t give it a dirty look, no nuttin. it just fell right behind me. I got a good look at the limb today, 4 inches in dia and 15 ft long fell from what appears to be about 60ft up plus. That would have left a mark!

Hi, A few years ago not far from here a tree fell when a tractor with a hay rack full of people was passing by, killed one. Glad you were lucky, Chuck

This reminds me of neighbor that decided to cut an overhanging limb off his other neighbor's tree.
His neighbor was working and so was his wife when this happened. This happened in the spring of 2005. Around lunchtime I received a message from
the neighbors wife and said her husband had fallen off the ladder. He hit the pipe on the chain link fence that broke his fall. He was flown to the shock trauma unit in Baltimore. He has now recovered. He was lucky he wasn't killed. Hal
