Hugh; a good friend of mines wife was plowing with one of their Ms one day. She had the rope tied around her wrist as she dropped it several times and had to stop to pick it back up and fish it out of the dirt she just turned, Well, she hit what was left of an old stump with the plow and she just barely managed to get her toe on the clutch as she was starting to get pulled off the seat. Stretched her out like on a "medival rack". She was very lucky!

When I plowed a small garden here in town one day with the F-12, I just sat on the rope tucked at the back of the seat, but was careful how I had it strung, didn't want to snag anything important if it flew out!
