Speaking of almost buying the farm , laid my Cub Cadet 42" mower on her side today in what I called the goat pasture on its right side & jammed my self between tractor/seat & horse corral . Phone fell off holder onto ground & couldn't get at it . Luckily motor shuts off when no seat pressure . Fair distance from house & hollared for least 10 min till Donna & dog heard me . She couldn't get it to move at all& I had no movement to help .called closest neighbor , not home . Got a fella down the road a mile bldg. his own house & Donna drove down & got him . He got tractor moved & me up . Lots a stiff etc probably some more sore spots in AM .
Just tellin yu all this cause I got lucky & this is the season for these happenings . May have to get goat to eat grass again . As pic says maybe I'll just drive & smile . Luck

Thanks All . Norma the deal is not to run across a sloping lawn run up & down In most cases . In my case I was backing up along a pc to turn around to go between row of large walnut trees & hardwood horse corral to go ahead again & back left wheel ran up on large walnut tree base roots which flipped it up & over & my balance & movement are not what used to be I couldn't hold & slide to left & foot stuck down on gas peddle so over she went . Might a been better if goin slower too . Be careful out there . Luck

Just like that man . Thought carrying a phone cause of heart etc would be my safety but as I said it fell to the ground & couldn't reach . I have a whistle on other / huntin / fishing tractor that I use the boat safety /bush type . Got another here to put on mower & hang round my neck when cutting . Least get help faster easier to get at . . Luck
