A big dumb Irishman that shall remain nameless managed to get his fore arm between some branches on his apple trees and the ROPS.. not a good thing..not to smart either!!! Being use to pushing lower branches out of the way to get under cause the OLD tractor didnt have a ROPS,,,OPPPPS ya cant do that no more,,, So just a little word about thinking before you do stuff that is old hat and has become a habbit,,it can get your arm broken or worse,,, Now I just hope I don't get picked for random drug testing today,lol,, oh well like Forest says,,Stupid is as stupid does,,
Have a great day guys/Ladies and becareful!!!

Sounds like it might be time to bring out the trusty rusty chain saw or other cutting device and prune back some limbs so you can keep your limbs intact.

Eric brings up a good idea. Just get the chainsaw running and strap it to the ROPS. That way as you drive along the tree branches get cut off before even getting close to the ROPS :D
You might want to wear a hard hat .

Well, on the serious side, sorry to hear about your arm.....or I mean that big dumb Irishman that is remaining nameless. I hope he heals quickly - drink your milk!

That's a bad way to start the new year off. I hate tree limbs, they sure do have a bad habit of putting nasty scratches on the shiny orange paint. It would be twice as hard to wax them out with a broken arm to.
