[AT] skidding logs with a tractor is a dangerous business

[charlie hill]

I agree that if the chain is hooked where it should be the tractor won't 
flip over backwards but Davidson County isn't exactly flat ground.  It could 
be it put her out of control on a hillside and caused the flip.  Either way 
it's tragic.  I can't say anything because I've had several real near misses 
on tractors in my life.  Most were my fault one way or the other, even if I 
didn't realize it at the time.

Seems to me that either the chain was hooked too high on the tractor, or
driver forgot about the clutch. ( PANICED)  Anyway you are right everyone
should be careful, and careful who you put in the tractors seat.
I thought I was a careful person and look at my foot.
