I'm guessing a lot of people on here have run into this, so I thought I'd ask how you'd handle it. I have a guy that's been helping a lot at my MX track to pump water and weed wack, etc. A few years ago I let him run my tractor and disc and told him it has kind of weird hyd's. so you have to make sure the one lever doesn't accidently go back or you could damage something. Well, a bracket got a little bit bent. This guy just is not an equipment operator. He's not mechanical at all by his own admission.(The throttle on his 2" pump wouldn't stay in position and he couldn't figure out that the lock nut on the friction washer had some how came loose) Now he keeps bugging me to show him how top run my skid steer. I told him today it would take a month and a skid steer can be dangerous. I've had problems in the past where my equipment needs expensive repairs after letting other people use it. Even experienced operators. What's the best way to tell someone that's helping you a lot, that he's not going to be running your skid steer or tractor any time soon? I don't want to come right out and say he's just not an equipment operator. I'd let certain people run my equipment and even teach them but just not this guy. I don't want to make him mad, so that's why I'm asking how to handle something like this.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
