Glad you could finish the job safely. A farmer in my home town was not so lucky, but partly his fault for not realizing the danger. Story was they needed one more lift cycle out of the loader to finish a job. Hose blew and he grabbed around it to minimize the spray for the last cycle. I’m not sure if he had a leather glove on or not, but the fluid entered his hand. Went to local doctor, where I’m not sure if they used an injection or incisions to try to remedy the issue. Turned out the next day it was getting worse. Then they went to the specialist in KC three hours away, but to late ended up needing an amputation above the wrist.
