A couple of months back was taking down some oaks around the house, thinning them out, dragging them around back. I was bending over one of the trunks hooking the chain to the drawbar, my sister was on the tractor when all of a suddenly it's length was straddling that trunk where I used to be standing. Obviously she was riding the clutch in reverse, and her foot slipped or she just dumped it without thinking. That's a lot of beef to come flying back on you. A few steps backwards, then grabbed a rear and flung myself out of the way. No harm done that time, but was too too close for me.

You have to pay attention to what you're doing on a tractor at all times. You just have to. That old iron will still be here long after you're gone.
