For safety's sake I might could take it. But having my airlines and pigtail tangled up just drive me insane.

I misspoke earlier. The tractor was just in the towing company's impound lot for a day. It's on our yard. Massive damage everywhere, the driver looks to be very lucky. Be safe out there everyone!
