It's amazing how quickly these things happen. Before I headed down the driveway I'd thought about dropping the rock if anything went wrong, but in the moment as the tractor started to yaw and slide I had two thoughts in my head. Either jump off or hang on, so I did the latter and was able to get the tractor under control. It wasn't fun.I got a funny story similar to that, involving this stupid tank. I had a spot laid out to catch rain water from the gutter. Had some pallets down in a raised bed under some stairs, maybe knee high or so. Due to trees, I had to back down a small hill, past the tank, line up, lift and drive out. Easy right… well I forgot to check the 4wd lever…and didn’t have anything on the back, so backwards I slid! Had some old snapper comet mowers a few feet away, they stopped the tractor just as I slammed the tank down to the ground. Happened in a split second.
