During the snowstorm we had this week, a local snowplowing contractor's employee broke a front drive shaft on a 4x4 pickup. As I understand it the shaft let go at the axle, flailed around and caught the wiring harness, and wound up everything clear to the back of the truck. It also pounded the AC compressor and maybe power steering and brake lines.
To compound the problem he got some "help", hooked on to it with a log skidder, and towed it backwards down the driveway he had been plowing. Once they got to the town road, instead of re-hooking to the front end and winching the plow up tight against the skidder, they continued down the road with the truck going backwards.
The guy driving the skidder, afraid that the pickup was going to catch up and hit him, kept going faster and faster. Finally he turned the skidder out into the snowbank, but not far enough. The pickup hit the rear wheel of the skidder and destroyed the pickup bed. I sure would like to hear the boss discussing that with his hired help.
