I was moving a gravity wagon for my grandfather with around 10,000 lbs of dry fertilizer it with a Farmall M to a field we rented 3 miles from the farm. The M has a narrow front end, loader, loaded tires and weights. Everything was going OK until I got to the road where the field was. The road was paved with a gradual decline so I put it in 4th gear. Big mistake. 4th gear couldn't hold it back and with both feet pressing on the smoking brakes it kept going faster and backfiring in protest. I knew the road got even steeper near the end followed by a swim in Canandaigua Lake if the cross traffic didn't get me first. Fortunately, when I got to the field the road leveled off just enough so I could slow down and hit the driveway faster than I normally would. Now I use a big tractor if moving around that much weight. If I couldn't slow down I decided to jump and steer the tractor towards the ditch. I'm glad I didn't because I own the tractor now.
