I guess I can tick this off the list of things that will>happen some day.  :D I used two boards to span the loader arms to load it on to the mill and just as it came off the loader I realised that I had forgotten to raise the manual backstops. It didn't roll fast but I still couldn't get there in time to stop it. Of course the customer was watching.  :D Had to use the FEL to get it back up on the mill.
The hurry-er I go the behind-er I get.

I am long since passed that one.  It has been a while but I am sure I will get back around to it.  Banjo
Never explain, your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you any way.

   I'm sure glad I've never done anything like that (At least not when anyone was around to see it :D).

@WV Sawmiller that is when you will do it.  Get you an audience and things will go wrong.  That's why I usually just shut the mill down when someone comes up. Banjo

   Yes and the bigger the audience the bigger and more impressive the mistake you will make has been my experience. :D Kind of like when we were in school and there was some real cute girl you were trying to impress. That's when you'd fall flat on your face.

Happened to me for the first time when a good friend stopped by to see the mill cut a log. He has a LT15. We both just laughed about it. :D

  The fender was left on to protect the tire from run-away logs. :D :D

I've done that twice, both times, only the offbearer and myself were there, "honest"!

The only thing I've ever worried about was breaking the feed chain!

Might as well laugh about it.....that's less messy than crying! Besides I just picked it up with my tractor and set it back on  the mill. No damage to anything except my pride.

I just did this yesterday demonstrating the log loading process to my step son. No pics but I got to cross that off the list

The ones you throw off the mill with a chain turner and completely clear the tire - those are the ones you remember.   ;D

It's really irritating to roll on off your manual mill while using you can't hook. At least from what I gather. No witnesses.

Mr. Sheepkeeper, Sir,

I hate it when that happens :).

AH! You guys with all that fancy powered equipment! Now us manual load and mill guys may be slow, but I for myself, have never rolled a log off like that. We are thoughtful and careful.  ;D :D

For some reason I think you got the wrong lever.  Got the log stop one instead of the clamp one.
Sure hope it does not take too long to rebuild you pride.

No doubt! But today was not that day. Instead I chose a different 'first time for that'. I found some barbed wire....... the hard way. :-[ :-[

Easy, it's not in the way and I just step a little wider to get around it. I only leave it on when I'm sawing at home, on mobile jobs it comes off.

Just surprised that the head clears the fender.  On my mills there is about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 " clearance above the tire itself in a setup where most of the weight is taken off of the tire.  No way the head can pass by a fender.  Lt40 super or LT70 super
