Yesterday I was trying to move a dead tree and was dragging it with my backhoe on L-39. I was going up an incline and the frontend got light and started to rise so I went to reverse and engine killed . The tractor started rolling backwards and went off the road and straight down the hill about 120' at about a 45 degree angle. I thought for sure this is it and thought it would start rolling over. I came to a terraced area it slowed for a split second when the tires went over that edge. The backhoe hit a tree that was about 15'' thick and it smashed in several pieces. The tractor came to a stop right after that when the back hoe bucket slammed in to the side of dry creek bed. I took key out walked about 30' up hill before I turned to look back. Decided I was to shakened up to do anything so I went home.
Went out today to survay the damage. The tractor started right up . I tried hydraulics on Backhoe and there are several leaks. I cannot tell if I bent or broke anything yet.
