Stuck in my mind even to day, it was over 50 year ago.

I've been around farm equipment, tractors my whole life and what always amazes me is to see a very experienced operator, another farmer turn his tractor over, or run over something. My point is don't get complacent, always no matter how many years you've been around always remember you have to be as safe on the first day as you are on your last.

Same here but only a few short years ago an old timer down the road had trouble starting his tractor, so what did he do, he jumped off and stuck a screwdriver into the solenoid of the starter motor to force it to crank which happened to be between the front and back tires, well guess what happened when it started, I'm sad to say it ran him over ( because it was in gear ) & he died screaming in pain from internal injuries for an hour possibly longer. I'll never forget this one & I'm glad I wasn't there to see it because it's such a sad story.

I think very useful content. I've grown up on farms, and unfortunately lost family and friends to accidents with tractors. 4 additional areas of really critical safety that I unfortunately know from accidents: 1. Hydraulics. Don't get under a loader or 3pl implement, or anything else hydraulically without appropriate safety supports etc. in place. Or in a place where anything can be crushed. 2. Don't step off the tractor and leave kids (that can touch controls) and go attach an implement at the back or front of the tractor, or open a gate etc. 3. You kinda covered this in starting, but either be in the seat - or well back from the machine - if it's starting. 4. Stand reasonably clear of any machine that is on, or has anyone at the controls. That persons foot may slip/hit the wrong thing and that machine or implement be quickly on top of you.

The extra weight on the rear end is a nice addition to add to the feeling of safety and stability of your tractor. However, just because you add extra weight to the tractor doesn’t mean you can throw caution to the wind, as the operator is ultimately responsible to operate their machine in a safe manner.

It’s also important to note the hitch height on the torque part. Having a high hitch above the axle height allows the tractor to rotate around the axle. A low hitch, below the axle height, typically prevents upward rotation of the front end during heavy torque.

A good lesson for the new tractor owner and a great refresher for those who think they are experienced. Years ago, I had an uncle with a Ford 8n. Whenever he was going to pull anything heavy with a chain, he always attached a brushhog on the three point first to help limit any 'back-flip'. My grandfather had an old Farmall M with tricycle setup . I'm almost embarrassed to say that when I was MUCH younger, I had the front tires 4 or 5 feet off the ground multiple times..... Today, something like that would scare the crap out of me.

A couple weeks after we moved onto the old family farm in 2001, I borrowed my uncle's Ford 1920 and went down to the creek to get several scoops of gravel to put on the new driveway. About the 3rd or 4th trip, I had really overfilled the bucket and as I looked backwards to reverse out of the creek bed, I did not realize my hand was still on the control just enough to continue raising the bucket. As I was backing up I suddenly felt the tractor lurch to one side and as I quickly turned my head back to the front, I saw the bucket was at near max height and was starting to tip the tractor over towards the creek bed. I don't think I ever slammed that control so hard forward so fast in the 14 years I had use of that tractor! I saved it from going over-but just barely. Scared me so bad I never did it again!

Luckily she was fine, but a scary situation for sure.

@@woodboss270 no theres no such documented term called translock. It is called differential lock or diff lock for short. When you push the pedal down or flip the switch you're locking left and right axles together at the differential. Locking the transmission would cause a machine to not move at all and is used in drag racing for staging a car at the line and is called a trans brake. Tractors have Differential Locks, not trans locks.

Some good points , the first tip, "too much torque" to avoid always pull from below the centre of the rear axle, not the top link, always the draw bar. The PTO the absolute golden rule. I watch a lot of KZbin farmers, too many implements with failed PTO guards especially static machinery such as augers, and conveyors. Always have the rops in the correct position. Good safety video. A friend of mine lost his arm in a round baler, I'm always encouraging farmers/machinery operators to have the best safety attitude.

Your new Versabracket and the package bundle looks like a real winner. Recently bought the JU Fab Works hooks for my 1025r and they are great, I highly recommend. Your comments on safety are really on point. At the church we attended when we lived in MN we had a 4WD JD Compact tractor with a mower deck and plenty of hills. One of the guys who occasionally used it took it out of 4WD and forgot to put it away with the it engaged. One of our other volunteers took it out to mow and didn't realize the 4WD wasn't engaged. He rolled it and if it wasn't for the ROP and wearing a seat belt it would have been fatal. Regarding the PTO comment, that is the reason my father-in-law decided to retire from farming. His best friend was working with his son and got careless and was pulled into the PTO in front of his son. Farming and working with heavy equipment is potentially dangerous, so safety first is a must. Great channel with excellent content.

Excellent use of a video!!! I often refer to these tractors as, "mailbox tractors", the manufacturer did not intend for them to have actual use or ballast would be standard equipment by law!!! I always used ROPS up-belt on, ROPS down--belt off! You may have saved severe people with this video. It would be great to win but I have ballast, great idea just the same for a winning prize! Thank you for this presentation!

Excellent video. I found out the hard way- multiple pass down a small hill can draw a small amount of moisture to the surface making the next pass a slippery slope. Thanks for the tips.

I agree, I have attempted to move Ford without disengagement of the parking brake. I always worry afterwards if it will hold the tractor when it counts. I’m ready to put a post it note in the area as a reminder. Great safety video.

Good points. We have a 1025r that the kids are looking forward to learning to operate. Showed the kids this video so safety is instilled in their minds.

Great points to bring up, pay attention to the pucker factor. Too many operators have the "can't happen too me" ,

Great video on safety with your tractor. I agree with your points about becoming complacent and thinking it won't happen to me. Too many folks just want to get-r-done and that's when danger lurks, waiting for you to make a mistake. So think safety, safety, first.

Nice points. Two things you covered that I find folks don't understand are that there are no front brakes in 2wd, and that the front axle is on a pivot so if your rear end picks up, you're immediately tipping.

Great video. We have lost many family members over the years to farming accidents. It can be a very dangerous occupation. Those are definitely nice weights
