Fine looking operator for an ugly green and yeller tractor! :lol:
I agree with you about the safety nazis, JD. Eliminating every single risk in every you do just isn't feasible. In my opinion, you become a far better operator by having been at the limits of a machine and knowing how to react when things go wrong. Every person who I have done trenching projects for has said that they have no second thoughts about working right next to my backhoe boom.
