I am glad to have helped
.I do not want to give the impression that it was parked either uphill or downhill. It was parked on the side of a slope (traverse if you will). Once it started rolling, it literally made a 90 degree right turn (the path of least resistance) and headed for the woods. I usually bury the forks into the ground and back off a bit. Must have backed off a tad too much.
It was a sickening feeling watching it roll away. I've watched runaway hay bales at the same location but we're talking about a $75 bale of hay, not a $35k tractor.
I believe that I have reached the "acceptance" stage.
The insurance companies have been top-notch so far. Although nobody has directly said it, I get the feeling that they will total it. The appraiser comes tomorrow after the monsoon predicted for Virginia today.
I've started looking around for used equipment...need a similar size to run an 8' pull-type Land Pride mower.
