Default That was a wild ride

Had to tow dads 1212 grasshopper back to the garage to work on it, bad fuel pump. Anyway I removed the drive chains to tow it because it doesn't have a hydro release. Well it didn't go so smoothly! The tow strap came undone on a hill with me on it and off like rocket I went backwards towards the trees! I bailed off it stopped against a cedar tree. Luckily neither me or the mower were hurt other than a few bruises. If it has to be towed again I will tie the straps so it cannot come loose! Did scare me though. Could have been very bad.
