How are you guys hitting washouts hard enough to tear the steering wheels out of your hands? Don't you watch where you're going, and slow down as you come to the washout?
Although it can certainly happen there, it doesn't take a washout to rip the wheel from your hands. It doesn't take (frozen) ruts, furrows/cultivated end rows, woodchuck holes, or anything obvious. A softball-sized rock in the dirt could probably do it if you drove over it just right. It can happen during normal operation. I've had an M do this several times moldboard plowing in the middle of a field. A spot can move me to the right or left a bit when a tire looses traction, and I'll adjust the steering a bit and bump a brake pedal and suddenly the front end can do a hard left or right, and my hands can't stop it. I have no trouble at all with my M with power steering in the same conditions.
I've had it happen when cultivating when turning at the ends, too.

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
