I was only able to get one bucket of dirt before the seals on both hydraulic cylinders let loose and sprayed oil at least 6 feet. It really had some serious high pressure to spray like it did.
One time years ago I was delivering a load of firewood logs in town, and one of the jib boom hoses let go and shot me right in the face and chest. I was of course sitting on the tractor seat up above the cab running the valves. The break as usual was near the end of the hose so I managed to cut it off and reattach the fitting (one of those old aeroquip type) and finish unloading. But it was awful to be soaked in oil the rest of the day
