Had a little trouble today feeding and checking traps. Traveled it a thousand times over the years, but the rain and mud got me today. Started sliding and the off side caught and rolled me. No damage to the machine but I’m a little bruised and battered. Be safe out there. Eric [Linked Image]

Dang mister,you topped my evening.

I stuck my side by side good and broke the left front cv shaft.
I was able to winch it out luckily.

Glad you're ok, those machines can be fixed

What will you do different next time?

I have never driven one of those sxs.

Good to hear you're OK
Those machines are tough.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Mark, It wasn’t overloaded, don’t know of anything I could have done different, except not go feed and check traps which is not an option. Eric

Good reminder for all of us to pay attention and be ready for anything, no matter how routine it seems

I'm glad you didn't break yer neck and if that's a dog you let inside, I'd be watching him.
