Depends on how it happened. If it was your fault, you got the grand prize. If it was happenstance or arson, you get what you got. Seriously though, I am sorry to see such a great machine in that condition.

It was an accident but I wasn't in the driver's seat when it happened. Inexperienced user pushing brush into a burn pit... got stuck... the rest is history.

It looks like a bad history too. I hope that your insurance took care of it. The inexperienced user gets the award but you can accept on his behalf since you are the owner.

First place so far, now for the rest of the story.

You might need a new set of tires and probably change the oil. A little wax and as good as new.

My big oops came just about one month after I bought the tractor. My wife wanted to start a garden and I had twenty yards of top soil delivered. The driver dumped it all in two 10 yard piles. I used the tractor to push the piles level I started by driving up the piles of dirt and used the bucket to push the dirt. As I drove up the pile of dirt on the second pass, the dirt gave way and the tractor rolled over on it's side.

I had to get the tractor upright by using my pickup truck to pull the tractor upright again. Fortunately, there was no damage done but that did not help my confidence any for awhile.

WOW!...Armylifer!... disregarding tractor-damage-stories..... You are lucky to be alive! Glad you Made It!

It is not worth a picture, but I turned the head of my brand new, like a few weeks old "hard" hand rake (garden rake?) into a pretzel sculpture two days ago. Fortunately the handle is OK.

Some times it is good to be two faced. While backing blading with my box blade, I caught the corner of my wife's greenhouse with the loader, narrowly missing the window, or worse, pulling the corner post out. Lucky for such little damage.

Don't have a pic, But I'm one of those that had an issue once with the ROPS and garage door. In my case, it was the old BX23. The ROPS got wedged under the garage door opening and I got stopped dead in my tracks. It took me about 15 seconds to realize why I couldn't go forward, or backwards. Had to let some air out of the rear tires to get unstuck. Haven't had that issue since...but, I have clipped a few downspouts since then.

Took the loader off to install front snow blower. When I went to install loader in the spring it had sunk slightly and wasn't level. Struggled and finally got it back on. Then I looked at the hood and I gouged the B2601 emblem. Being a new tractor I purchased a replacement emblem but didn't install it right away. Next season remove loader and in the spring install the new emblem. Tractor looked like new again. Installed loader and immediately gouged the new emblem. Tractor now has an emblem that reminds me to be careful. Not replacing it again.

Here we are picking up the BX25 when my son rolled it last summer. He got off to the side of the pile into soft dirt, and over she went. No harm done except that the ROPs was tweaked a bit.

(Please excuse the rented green machine!)

That is exactly what happened to me. I was not wearing my seat belt at the time and I am glad that I wasn't. I know that is not a popular view on here but if I was wearing it I would not have been able to jump off and I would have definitely been hurt if I had been belted in.

I only came close to taking off my back barn door with the corner of the loader bucket. No harm to tractor, so I guess it doesn't count.

Sure it counts! I just haven't gotten around to shooting photos of all the nicks and clips I've taken out of my outbuildings with my tractor's various implements. Especially the box blade and the snow blower.

So many building corners and a few walls around my place show signs of my tractors passing it's not even funny, but most were imprinted in the first year i owned it.

Good to hear ROP did its job!!!!

The same scene here, besides smacking the drive shed rafter also the wall and the corners of the shop. Thankfully those are cheap/easy to fix or totally overlook compared to the ones on the tractor

I have a couple that might win a prize, but no pictures. I drove a PU into a bale spike mounted on the loader of a tractor. The spike went through the windshield right nest to the passenger door support. If I'd have hit that support I thing the truck would have been a one door to open truck, but I just needed a new windshield. I don't remember why I had the loader up, because I don't do that, usually.

Also chipped a hole in a concrete silo with a bale spear!

So far I've hit my $30K camper with the ROPS, pushed in the front sleeper portion about 12 inches, but it's plastic, popped back out and just has a little gouge and scratch. Was trying to go between the camper and my pontoon. I hit the correct one. More expensive, but more resilient too.

I have sliced the front bumper of my car with the toothbar, turning a bit too close.

I knock a gutter downspout off my garage every other month or so.
