Something similar happened in my old neighborhood years ago. A farmer was making hay on a ridge with a brand new New Holland 77 baler and H Farmall tractor. When a wagon was full the guy loading the wagon puled the pin and the wagon took off down the hill. Apparently he was a slow runner, so the driver of the H locked the brakes and jumped off the tractor to help the other fella catch the wagon. Neither of them caught it and it went off the bluff and into the trees. While they were catching their breath they heard a noise and looked up just in time to see the H and baler heading for them. I guess the motion of the baler rattled the brake latch loose. Anyway, just as the tractor and baler were heading down the hill another fella was just getting there with an empty wagon on an old WC Allis Chalmers. He jumped off the WC to try to chase down the tractor and baler. Of course he couldn't catch it and stood with the other two fellas looking down at the mess. Well, about then they heard another noise and just got out of the way in time for the WC and empty wagon to join the other equipment already sitting at the bottom of the bluff. The driver of the WC must not have set the brake before he took after the baler and tractor.
