coast of Maine
Big Ben,,thats an excellent idea. The only time I had a tree enter my excavator cab just happened 6 months ago.Thought I was going to have no legs left.I was sorting 20 ft sticks ,mostly 12 inch diameter.One odd pecker pole slid out from the thumb as I swung ,it pole vaulted into the cab by the lower window ,towards my crotch,then due to hooked to other logs it swung out and hooked both sticks for travel,bending them out the window as the machine moved in reverse,,causing it to keep bending,and moving,WTF,in maybe 3 seconds,I think the log was out the window and levers as well , bent into flat laying on the floor before I could kill it.If it had hooked me I would have been hurt badly,maybe broken legs at minimum.Was the opposite direction but I see your point for sure.
