Well, it happend! I figured Id share one of my DOH! moments. So, usually I back my tractor into the garage. While I back it in I repeatedly look to make sure I folded down the ROPS. Well today after a full day of yardwork, I had to pull it straight in. I had something in the way in the garage and my plan was to pull the tractor in forward this one time so I could raise the FEL over a crate that was in the was so I could close the door and deal with it in the morning. So I pull into the garage with a cool shower and a cold beer on my mind and BAAAAAAMMM!




I couldnt back it out as you can see the angle I was working with. I did the first thing that everyone does when you feel stupid, I looked around to see if anyone saw. I was in the clear. Uh-oh, is my wife home...no, whew! OK, now what. My first thought was to deflate the rear tires...nope, full of rimguard. Ah-ha! Pick the front end up with the FEL! That got me about an inch of clearance at the top so I could pull out the pins and fold down the ROPS.

So, I feel pretty stupid...be careful out there!:slap-yourself-emoti

It may have been a "Doh" moment but you redeemed yourself with the quick thinking solution to use the loader. :good2:
