That's only a piece of wood, should have to many problems with that. We had to quit using a JD 18 corn picker because a 1 inch(give or take) round tent stake got in between two husking rollers. Never could get it out.

An appropriate topic. I thought that using the rotary cutter today. To clear some horse pasture and cut back the growth out into the fields by the bush/forest/woods . Would not be a huge sin.
I got off the tractor wearing short pants and thought I had brushed by a thistle while picking up some wood chunks. Then after a few moves that would have earned myself a finalist position on dancing with the stars. Realized that I had stepped through a yellow jacket nest.
Went to the house and I always keep a bottle of Benadryl in the fridge for just such emergencies. Well that S.O.B called " Not Me" had used all but a 1/4" of the Benadryl. Just like they do with juice or milk. Of course " Not Me" could not bother their stupid &$$ to purchase more Benadryl or ask for more.
I quit counting at 19 sting sites.
Although in misery with both throbbing pain and with random pricks of pain that feel like fresh stings. After dark I took a jug of used motor oil and diesel fuel to the nest. Everything in a five foot radius around the nest became a blaze reaching the sky and is now smoldering ashes.

That is what slip clutches are for. If that was a Fantini head it would have taken out a gear box.

I think every house in North America has one of them living in it.

And if it was a Cressonie it would have busted the bolts on the lower bearing.

"Not Me" has a sister, "Ida Know".
I learned this summer that when I get an insect bite or sting, the best thing that works for me is to apply Triple Antibiotic ointment to the bite/sting for a couple days, covered with a Band Aid. That takes the swelling down and removes the itch/sting faster than anything else that I've ever used.

You don't think that same stick wouldn't have been in the same place on Monday?
To each his own.
I get allot of work done on Sunday and always have. Although I would never do much planting on a Sunday.
The nice thing about my church is you have the option to go on Saturday night.
I shut down about 4:30pm on Saturday and go and go out for dinner afterwards.

Those suckers are usually in a little deeper than you may think, I'd be wary of returning to the site unless I saw the paper nest burn.
I got lit up like that about a year ago, did not see this hole in the base of the stump of a small tree I was cutting. I was standing on the nest opening, had denim jeans on, and knee high cotton tube socks, the little #@%$!'s could not sting through it, that kept the sting count down, and I lost count after 2 dozen elsewhere. No allergies to these or much else in general, I was then about as angry as they, picking the remaining clinging ones off my clothing, batting away the remnants of their aerial assault as I retrieved my still running chainsaw, now smoking from loading up at an idle! I took the loader bucket and re-arranged their furniture a bit, the next day, the pheromone was still on my gloves, as soon as I got near that nest again, 2 landed on my glove with bad intent. I finally up ended that stump and exposed the nest, did not care if they got me again, that nest was coming out! Nature did the rest and I will not to forget to look over any tree I cut again. They usually like a dirt exposed bank, along a ditch or the dead furrow wall, but now I realize small decaying or damaged trees area also places they nest.

Many moons ago, a Mennonite lady I knew pitched a fit because the local Dairy Queen was open on Sunday. She ranted that she just didn't understand why they had to be open on Sunday.
In the course of human events, she and her husband bought the Dairy Queen. She soon found out why the Dairy Queen was open on Sunday. Business on Sunday constituted a very large part of their weekly revenue.
(This is by no means a put-down on Mennonites. I sometimes think their beliefs are better than mine).

I got some baling done yesterday, after I replaced all the chains on the baler. It's a NH 630 that a neighbor let us borrow because the hay was still to wet to put up in the barn. He started listing some of the minor issues he was having with it (it's relatively new to him, bought off the original neighbor we asked about it first) and so I decided that before I took it out to the field that it was worth the time and money to go ahead and replace all of the chains.
Worked flawlessly. I also sharpened the twine knife with a file because he said the twine was balling up on it instead of cutting it right away. That worked good too. Only thing not sorted out yet is the switch for the alarm. Still tweaking on that, but it rained last night so it'll be a little while until I can mess with it again.

Looks like you forgot to pick up that stick on Friday, so it would not get stuck in there on Sunday!
