Had a scary moment this evening out doing some touch up mowing with the bushhog before I take it off for the winter. Was backing down the back side of the dam, trimming to the edge of a washed out area. I back down, drop the hog, then pull forward. Well, as I was pulling forward, the hog hit dirt and instead of lifting it, I decided to ride it out as I was almost to the crown. The tractor stalled, so I hit the brakes and went to shift into park to restart. Well, as I pulled it out of gear, the brakes went to the floor and I started to roll backward into the wash out area (about a 6 foot drop.) No brakes and in nuetral and rolling backward, not fun!!! My only option was to cut the wheel and hope I missed the washout without tipping the tractor! Well, I made it, but rest assured, I'll find a new way to keep this area mowed next year. Stay safe, smart and alive, Dug By the way, I reformed my tractor seat, it now has two deep pits with a ridge in the center (clinching effect, ya know!)
