This method has been used in the past but exercise "EXTREME CAUTION" After clutch gets unstuck then block pedal down if tractor is to set very long.

I read about it here on the 8N board. Get them going fast and hang on tight. Only works with one brake at a time not both. Must send a shock wave up the drive train ? [Reply]  [No Email]
