Gibby - good one! Here's a somewhat related (though non-tractor) incident that happened to me during a blizzard a couple years ago.

Came upon a guy in a 1/2 ton Chevy 4x4 who'd slid off the road into the ditch - was bellied out in the snow and had no traction. I offered him a pull with my wife's beat-up '84 Plymouth Voyager but the guy just laughed. But after thinking a minute he figured (correctly) he had nothing to loose. So we hooked a log chain to his bumper hitch, then my 20,000 lb rated tow strap to the chain and hooked the strap to the minivan's hitch. Got about a 10' running start with the little van - the strap tightened and stretched, then PU popped backward out of the snowbank enough to gain traction.

I declined the guy's sheepish offer of $20 for the "service" - figured it was worth more than that just to have had such a delightful experience to tell my friends...
