Must be a lot of us old steamers out there working with tractors. I retired as a licensed Steam Engineer after 45 yrs to continue use of my 51 8n that I have used for 26+ yrs for wood lot and various uses. There is always a certain danger when using tractors and one mistake could be fatal. The desire to yank or jerk a stuck log to save getting down and adjusting the tongs, choker or drag chain just isnt worth it. SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY Using a tractor for what it was made for is dangerous enough but when we go beyond the designed uses that danger increases greatly. Sorry that his family has to go through the loss this way.
