Ya, the little 5700 isn't feeling too proud, I dumped a rather biggish Rock Maple on it and sheared off the steering column and dashboard.
Nothing you can't buff out though.
Here's a couple of vids of better times just before the incident.
Hahaha

When storing your tractor for the season is it important to run your saw completely out of bar oil and leave the fuel tank 15/16 full to allow for expansion in the spring?
Riiiiiiiight...nobody else ever had a tree go where it wasn't supposed to. I mean,we're all professionals here and perfect besides. Uhuh. Gypo,if you'll post a couple of pix of your tractor with the tree on it I'll dig around through my shoeboxes full of pix and post a couple of similar things. Among the victims are a new dodge pickup, a water truck, several lunch boxes all in a row,and a usfs sign with a poster advising that logging was going on in the area. I ain't namin' names and I ain't takin' the blame...I just took the pictures.
