As said before timbers / trees are dangerous if you are walking through , hunting logging or dozing.
Here is one most folks would never figure could happen. I was a kid and the neighbor got a new 4020 unloaded off the truck about 10:00 Sat morning. We thru a new set of chains on and headed for the timber. He had me skidding the tree tops out into a clearing. I had to go thru a big ditch, but with a monster tractor like that it could raise the world. It always scratched coming out of the ditch, and a short limb five ft long and four inches in diameter lodged between the tire and chain. It brought it over the rear fender smashing it and broke the back of the seat off, smacked me up against the consel. The tractor had less than four running hours on. He wasn't mad, I was hurting but tried to not let on. Who would have ever thought of that. Dave NE IA
