I know a man that was mowing hay one time using a 495 NH and a 756 Farmall. He got a large flat rock in the header, threw the PTO out of gear left the tractor wide open. As he reached the rock the haybine started running, he put his hands on top of the guards and held his back arched the reel hit his back and slipped the belt. He said the reel would hit his back then back up a little. He stayed in that position for about 1/2 hr, then he timed the reel backing off and threw himself back free of the haybine. He said he was so tired he wanted to just lay there, but thought heck no the tractor will probly jump in gear and run over me. He escaped with only a badly brused back and several stiches in the palms of his hands. a very lucky man
