[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 189848, member: 2882"] Jeez.. :shock: Glad you made it off on time!! I almost bailed once, when I lost traction to the right rear mowing straight up a steep slope.. The loose wheel got to bouncing so bad that I couldn't get the clutch in, and the front end was starting to rare up on me.. I did manage to throttle it down somehow, which let the front end lay back down.. When the tire took a good bite and the machine begain moving forward again, I found myself standing up sideways to the tractor with my right hand on the steering wheel, my left hand on the fender, and my right foot against the top of the transmission, knee bent, ready to jump as far as I could.. I was a split second from doing it, too... I think if I hadn't been braced to jump, I probably would have rolled backward into the mower when it started forward again.. I mow downhill now.. :P After it was all over, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I would have done if the tractor had started moving again without me on it.. :o :lol: [/QUOTE]
