I've been lucky with leaking hydraulic hoses, worse I saw was Dad had his car carrier home (company truck he got back from Illinois to "early" to report back to the terminal for another load so it stayed out at the farm overnight) He was showing us kids how it worked, as he was explaining that this lever moves the ramps around so you can haul 9 Volkswagens instead of 8 Oldsmobiles a hose blew off and drenched my brother, about that time Dad explained they don't haul many Volkswagens.
Running a Toro Greensmower 3 (a new one at that) I was up on #8 green (everything always happened on #8 green) noticed an extra whosh when I hit the reel lift pedal, after the 3 passes, while watching for where the whosh was coming from I noticed my pants were getting wet, seems one of the hoses on the reel lift circuit wasn't crimped well and was spraying oil out from under the seat whenever you lifted the reels. Toro bought us some oil, a new hose and me lunch because I caught it before it broke all the way and killed grass.
Best one at the golf course was we had a Roseman Hydra Gang (Think a Ford 3000 tractor with 7 hydraulic drive reel mowers bolted on to it. The reels ran off of a PTO pump with a 30 gallon oil tank behind the seat, various arms and bars lifted the mowers) One of our genius turf grass students was mowing rough with it and hit a tree, cleaving off two reels. He didn't notice and ran about another 1/2 mile until it ran our of Hydraulic fluid. Then he noticed one reel was completely gone and one was being dragged along peeling up sod. A lot of dead grass from that one!

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
