[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1811682, member: 24816"] That hits close for me, I’ve had a couple of those experiences that could have ended up that way. Once I was opening a gate going with a 3000 Ford and a broadcast seeder on the. 3 point. Everywhere we are here involves hills. Was just a little ways from the state road and while I’m opening the gate I look around and see the tractor starting to roll backwards toward the road. Knowing that it’s a heavy traveled road I instinctively try to jump in the tractor. It has an old loader frame on it and my coveralls get caught on the frame. Finally got them ripped away and got on and stopped it just as me and tractor were right at the edge of the road. Then another time going through a hayfield gate headed downhill with a Ford 7710, I’m out opening the gate, never been able to hear much so didn’t hear the commotion but thankfully, I looked around to see the tractor coming right towards me. I was able to get out of the way and just watched it run to the bottom of the hill. It had enough momentum it went a good ways on level ground but didn’t go through any fences or turn over. [/QUOTE]
