Nice Liquid. She will serve you well I'm sure.
We are still old school with a push mower....

See how far up those skid marks are? I thought I was fine but that sucker slid right off into the water. I rode it out and never backed off the throttle until the last minute, slinging both mud and cuss words. Shut it off right before the motor went under. Grr..
Drug it to my shop,changed the oil and filter and fired that mutha up. Then finished mowing!

Damn Liquid, are you trying to push yourself completely over the edge?
A new JD, and all there is to mow is snow?
Looks awesome man, welcome to the Deere club!
YT getting greedy..
Thinking another few inches closer........ it's happened to me a million times, but I never took the Nestea plunge..probably because we don't have a pond..

You can see where I spun around, and when I did I slid right off in the pond like a slick noodle...
When I built that little pond with my skid steer I was sitting in the bottom looking around and being all proud of myself for getting it finished. There was a big storm coming and I figured it would fill up overnight (and it did). As I'm setting there in the bottom my Bobcat dies. WTF?
As it turned out, a fuel line had sprung a leak. I had to scramble to get the tractor hooked up and drag that sumb¡¿[£ outta there! It was already raining hard when I got it out. Ever try to drag a skidsteer? It's not a pretty sight.

Haha! When they slide they slide. I was speculating from the marks what happened. Based on your description - I was right

Tusc - clearly I have a problem.
We've been a Green tractor family fr a long time. Have you not seen the pics of my father? He does things on tractors that no sane man would.
Yes that's on fire. Yes there's also metal in there. Yes rocks are actually exploding.

Not a skidsteer but how about this one. What you can't see is the embankment. I couldn't get it out pulling with the Gator! Ended up backing an old escalade as far as I could and then using come-alongs to pull it out inch by inch. For the record - I didn't do this.

So Liquid, off the record, how did you do that??
