Isn't this the one with like 20 HP and a top speed of mid 20's? Not sure of I'd notice the throttle was stuck.

My father in laws went off the top of the ridge and was flipping by the time it reached the tree line at our farm. Had to climb a tree and hoist a chain up to hook to it and pull it out of a tree with the tractor. Lol. He didn’t put it in park though, just left it with the front tire in a hole thinking it would be fine. Surprisingly it didn’t take too much work to make it driveable again.
