I used a regular to clear and plow a old unused field about 30 years ago. I got a jd rope trip plow and hooked the tractor up to it. The hitch was welded back together but not quite good enough. I had a good piece of 3/8 in rope to trip the plow with. One day the hitch broke and I had the rope tied so I couldnt drop it. The slack was laid across my left thigh. The rope came tight just as I realized what was going on. I tried to lift my left leg to push the clutch in but the tight rope stopped me. Then the rope was pulling the plow sideways behind me, and the rope was bearing down on my leg quite hard. The rope started to work its way down my leg toward my knee. I thought it would just go down toward my foot and I would be free of the rope. What did happen was the rope dug in under my knee cap and I thought the rope was going to pop my knee cap off. After a few seconds of that terror the rope finally jumped up over my knee cap and I managed to get the tractor stopped and headed for the house and elevated my knee on the couch and Iced it down. I learned a few lessons that day. I managed without going to the doctor but I know i was very lucky that day.
