Indeed anything that deliver's a shock might jar the clutch loose but there's no guarantees. I suggest that chaining to a tree isn't a good idea because it might damage the tractor,plus it can be dangerous for the operator.

I'm here to tell you that at 70 years old, I've chained more than one to a tree and broke the clutch loose before and I'm still here but then I farm for a living and I have all my fingers too. Chain to the drawbar with a stout shackle and stout chain to a stout tree, Put a blanket or tarp over the chain in case it breaks. Been there did that too. Still here last time I looked.

I really don't give a hoot if you drive it off a cliff to break the clutch loose, just relaying to people with a stuck clutch how I unstuck them.

That is a non issue anymore. My tractors don't have dry clutches now. All are multi plate wet clutches.

Take truck or another tractor and put stuck tractor in high engine off clutch depressed, have other tractor put tension and it will come loose with any danger

Tying the rear to a tree will cause the tractor to rotate up and over the rear wheels. Make Shure you have your seat belt on and your ROLL OVER BAR IN PLACE and someone standing by ready to call 911.

Amen Buddy. There's no way I'd try that method.

....stop chaining the tree to the top of the ROPS (roll over bars), or to anything else above the rear axle that would cause it to flip, and you'll be good.

Above or below the axle is a death wish it

pg.3:
"Drawbar leverage:
....When the front end of the tractor lifts, the rear
drawbar of the tractor will lower. This is a function of
tractor geometry. The higher the front end raises, the lower
the rear drawbar is driven. As the drawbar lowers, the
“angle of pull” and the leverage the load has to tip a tractor
rearward is also lowered. By design, a load will always
lose its ability to tip a tractor rearward before the tractor’s
CG reaches the rear stability baseline. As the load loses its
ability to continue to tip the tractor rearward, the front end
falls back to the ground. If the tractor operator doesn’t stop
the pulling action, the entire process will repeat itself,
resulting in a bouncing of the tractor’s front end."
