Had just finished clearing snow on our driveway and the trail in-front of our house (Deere did awesome with the front 82" blade) and had just put the tractor away. Noticed a younger girl walking through the front yard and she looked very nervous. Come to find out she had just slid off the highway, bounced off a tree and her Ford Taurus was in our back yard in a snow pile. She was okay but just shook up quite a bit, our ditch is probably at a 75-80 degree angle so I am sure she had a "fun" ride.. Fired the 3005 back up and disconnected the RB2060 rear blade, stuck the hook on draw-bar and grabbed some straps. I ended up wrapping her rear control arm with the strap and reached it to the back of the tractor. The Deere pulled that car sideways until it was straightened out and I continued on up through the side yard and on to the driveway. Total pull was easily 400 or so feet, tractor didn't even struggle, was in 1st gear high range the whole time. When I was unhooking the strap she asked if she should put it in park now, come to find out she just had it in neutral. I pulled her through numerous 6-12" deep snow drifts and finally through the foot and a half pile beside the driveway that I had just made. This thing continues to amaze me.
Also, didn't take any pics, didn't want to embarrass her anymore than she already was, just thought I'd share.
