Here are some great tips to keep you safe on your tractor.
Don’t leave the driver’s seat or cab until you have turned off the engine and made sure the tractor has come to a complete stop. Then take the key with you.
- Always be on the lookout for nearby workers on the ground.
- Don’t carry passengers or extra riders.
- Don’t operate too close to ditches or creeks.
- Slow down when operating in fields that contain holes or other hazards resulting in uneven terrain.
- Make sure tractors are equipped with ROPS and that seat belts are worn when the ROPS is in the upright and locked position.
- Only hitch to the drawbar or to other hitch points specified by the manufacturer.
- Make sure all loads are secure, balanced, and not too heavy for your tractor to handle.
- Check your lighting, brakes, and the condition of your slow-moving vehicle emblem (SMV) before operating on a roadway.
