Update: I never saw the point in pre-op checklists until a missed step cost us a day.
Tbh, I thought they were just paperwork until a hydraulic leak we caught early kept the job on schedule.

Seeing how that hydraulic leak got caught makes me glad we stick to our lists. We had a similar close call with a frayed cable on the chipper last season. Running through the checklist forced us to spot it before it snapped, you know? What's the point in rushing if it just breaks down later? Now I make sure every crew member signs off on their part before we even start the engine.

That sign-off step is clutch. How do you deal with crew who think it slows them down too much?
