looking at it again I'd say he was coming down over the hill and didn't have it in 4wd.....those old MFs needed oil & electrical power to engage it.....you can see the wheel marks further up the hill and with the loader on it it will be front heavy anyway

Just as it came over the Farmer imparts the fact the handbrake doesn't work.Luckily the chain stayed on and the "Winch in" button worked :oops:

Great pictures, Steve. Looks like you always leave a snatch block on your winch cable, that's a good idea.
