How quickly can it happen?

And a Trailer hooked to the Case so not much of a doubt he had all intentions of pulling the tractor and the trailer to it. Aerial Pic. shows it's there. If he would have removed it there would be signs or mentions of removing and unhooking it. No doubt again he was planning on pulling it. Scoth the bucket to keep it from dropping after lifting the bucket. My Wagner FEL. is slow. That one may drop like a rock.

He moved pretty fast when he hit the ground. If he would have moved that fast to press on the clutch pedal there wouldn't be a video to talk about.

Yeah, ok... I can tell you this...When that tractor turns itself over the axle it happens so fast you almost can not get your foot down fast enough. I've seen tractor pullers in the old days the could sense that balance and get away with it, and some of those nuts in India that haul the sugar cane wagons with the tractor standing straight up...But you have to have that feel and experience..or your dead or lucky.

Well, who has the best AI will be a huge factor in determining the outcome of any future first-world conflict. That much is true!

Man, there are sure a lot of AI panic ladies....and the nasty comments & the "know it alls"......... Amateur hour is right here......... READ THE POST AND YTUBE LINK and learn something. The guy made a mistake, and shared it to save who knows how many lives.....Come on guys show some decency.

It only happens so fast that one can't react in time for those that just send the throttle to the moon, pick an high gear for some reason and then just take the foot of the clutch as fast as possible. Of course there is hardly any time to react with this practice.

There is absolutely no reason to not pick a lower gear, release the clutch and then increase throttle slowly. Even if things want to go south, it gives plenty of time to avoid a disaster. Also, most tractors have a foot throttle. It's there for a reason and this a very good situation to use it.

And again, the drawbar is there to do the hard pulls, pull trailers, etc. Not the 3 pt hitch.

If your post has anything to do with mine which you quoted, I'm failing to see the connection.

My lower arms are about the same height as the draw bar ... Maybe even a tad lower, but there isn't anything to stop them from rising ...

Tractor Mike had this:

Good video! I've had access to tractors since I was around 10+ years old and am 70 now. This rural area had a lot of family run 50-100 cow dairy farms and I was able to get to play with tractors once in a while. I never worked on a farm or as a farmer but I was always doing things with tractors and have continued to on my 12 acre homestead since 1981. I always had an intuitive understanding that I need to be attached low when trying to pull something too heavy for the 3pt hitch. The video made me think more about the mechanical reasons and now it's not just intuitive.

You may or may not be surprised by the number of people who have made it pretty far up the chain in construction without much mechanical aptitude. Before retirement I ran the shops and would review sketches that superintendents sent in for fab work. We were heavy Electrical and HVAC with some GC stuff thrown in. Not long after taking the position I "unhired" the weld shop foreman and replaced him with one of the frustrated guys that worked under him. For the last 8 or so years thereafter everything went pretty well. Some (the COO I reported to included) weren't in favor of my choice for the replacement at first. They came to really appreciate him.

I took some engineering and computer programming courses back in the 1970's and 80's. I worked for years for different companies as kind of an electrical supplies engineer salesman and automation project salesman. I also was a new product development project manager for a medical respiratory device manufacturer. I learned a lot over the years.
