The closest I ever came to being killed or seriously injured on a tractor was pulling logs with an M. It was about 50 years ago - 1957 or '58; I was 12 years old, on my uncle's farm in Laurens County, South Carolina, dragging logs up a steep hill from the creek bottom. (Narrow) front wheels on the M hit a rock hidden in the deep grass between the ruts. The M front started up and then sort of veered off to the right, slightly brushing the gate post as I drove on through. I was able to correct the steering enough that the back wheels barely cleared the post. No damage to the M.... I was too inexperienced to have even thought of stabbing the clutch. Luckily, the log I was dragging didn't hang on the same rock. I went right on, oblivious to how close I had come to meeting my maker. But, I never forgot it. Years later, I realized what a close call it was. Guess it just wasn't my time.... mike
