[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 538377, member: 3162"] 20 years ago or so the battery was dead on the tractor, jumper cables were bad and I was all alone. So I set the brake and chained the truck to it. Put the truck in drive with it idled up and it pulling against the tractor. Got on the tractor and put it in high gear and released the break. Slowly it started rolling and I released the clutch, the tractor cranked right up. I pushed in the clutch, put the tractor in nuetral and applied the break on the tractor to stop the truck. Everything stopped but somehow the hook rolled and the truck took off on its own dragging the chain behind it. I was running across the top of the hill trying to catch the truck before it went off the incline. The truck hit a mountain cedar and almost pushed it out. The tree bent and the front end was off the ground with the back tires spinning when I got in it. I had to pull that truck out of the tree with the tractor. I haven't tried that again. [/QUOTE]
