well dang, i didnt even know there was a washington palm, you'll have to give me some bear lessons, lol....
the bear was at Seminole Ranch and the tractor was at Tosohatchee, lol....i was med. and 2nd....i was going a whopping 3.1 mph.......i think over the years of hitting trees and such with the wheels, there had to of been a stress somewhere....usually if you hit a tree, it willl stop you or bounce you off of it....i can see if i had gotten both tires, or even one full one, but it shouldn't of snapped like that.....the mechanic thinks that too, lol....
