I knew better, but ---

Posted by coflyboy on October 13, 2006 at 20:01:04 from (70.58.168.220):

Was hauling dirt with the loader. Tried to turn around between a drop-off and high bank. The bucket was loaded and heavy. With no power steering I was not 'gitten er done'. Even though I knew better I thought I'd raise the bucket to clear the bank to get more turn-around room. WRONG. The left front wheel went into a hole, and with that heavy bucket waaayyyy up in the air the right rear tire came off the ground. I just teetered there until I came to my senses and lowered that bucket.

I was lucky. I dumped the bucket and started all over again.

I know, you high-time operators are just rolling your eyes and saying dumb a$$.

I just thought this story might just save someone who isn't as lucky as am I a passle of grief.
