I’ve lost a few hats, only one cost me anything, the rest were free. However, I did manage to chew up an expensive set of noise cancelling RYOBI ear muffs that my wife got me for Christmas. Then about two years later, I chewed up another set of the same earmuffs that she brought for my birthday as replacements. Now I use the cheap ones, and she has absolutely no plans on getting me another set of the RYOBI ones.

I've run over my cap, with the tractor tire or brush mower, on several occasions from tree limbs. I always tell my wife when I'm pruning trees in the yard, "if it can knock my hat off it needs to be removed". Hahaha

I’ve used to have the problem of tree branches grabbing the throttle of pan the H when I would be mowing along the tall brush and trees on the front of our property. Installed a small C clamp to keep the level from being pulled into low idle.

I've had the throttle yanked closed on my gas (push) lawnmower, by trees
and brush, more times than I can count. Most of the time, it's just a
momentary blip; occasionally if I'm in heavy cutting at the same time,
it'll kill it.
Have also had tree limbs and brush pull the throttle lever back on JD A
& H more than once. I *did* learn to duck and keep my head out of
trouble when mowing fencerows along the woods.
I think I'd actually PAY to have a chance to run that
annoying-to-turn-corners JD 9W sickle-bar mower for a day. For some
reason, I always enjoyed mowing hay & pasture. Other than dodging
groundhog holes and rocks, I could let my mind wander and enjoy the
outdoors.
