R - you're lucky to be alive. Glad you didn't get hurt. A local farmer jumped the solenoid on his 115 HP Deere with a semi-mounted 5 bottom plow. It was in gear, and before he could move the rear tire was on his foot. He said it was like slow motion. After it got his foot it had him, threw him face down, and started up his leg. He said he knew it would kill him if he couldn't twist his body over before the tire got to his waist, but he couldn't get over enough. He said he could hear his ribs popping as it walked up one side of his back. Then he was trying to get his head out of the way, but he's so stocky built that he hasn't got a neck. It went up his face, pinching it out from under the tire like a watermelon seed and popping one eye out. Peeled the meat off of one side of his head. The plow was raised and missed him. He knew he was dead, but realised he wasn't, raised up to see where it went and saw it struggling with the corner of an old chicken house. He crawled to the house and his wife got help. The tractor went on through a couple fences and hung up on a pond dam. He's still living, been several years ago, but he's not the man he once was. It would have killed a skinny guy like me.
