Not a tractor, but an International tractor reversed into a forklift that I had rented.

Being a reversed tractor, it would travel faster going backwards than forwards because the tractor's gearing was kept.

When I went to return it to where I'd rented it, I took off down the road from my house going backward for the forklift, but forward for the tractor, but sitting backward 'cause it was configured for a forklift. About the time I hit full throttle in top gear, the unit began to drift toward the road ditch. In one horrible moment, I realized I didn't know which way to turn the steering wheel, since the tractor was reversed.

I throttled down and tentatively tried the steering wheel. Thankfully, my first try was correct. I didn't even want to think about hitting a deep road ditch at 15 mph on a forklift.
