I was trying to do a 2-Lo brake-stand and all I succeeded in doing was making a nice little pile of Swamper shreddings but no smoke. The RPMs just weren't there.

As for the torque converter, I dunno, but a couple of sustained brake-stands was all it took to send the tranny fluid temp past 200 degrees. Not something to make a habit of, that's for sure.

Oh, and Smith, I don't own a chainsaw, and never have.
