STAY SAFE:
A FEW PRECAUTIONS

Make safety a habit. Avoid costly accidents and downtime.

KEEP YOUR BALANCE

Lifting something heavy in front? Add ballast (extra weight) to the rear of the tractor to keep the rear tires on the ground. Pulling a heavy implement? Add ballast to the front.

GET IN THE ZONE

tay within the ROPS (rollover protection structure) zone. This U shaped bar over the seat protects you in case of a rollover.

TURN IT OFF

Turn off the engine and wait for it and all equipment to stop before dismounting the tractor. Tractor-buying begins here.

SEE THE LIGHT

Turn on the headlights to make sure your tractor is visible when driving in low-light situations.

TRANSPORTATION SAFETY

Always turn on your flashers during road transport.

BUCKLE UP

Wear your seat belt. The ROPS is ineffective without it.

BEWARE THE #1 SOURCE OF ACCIDENTS

That's the fast-moving PTO shaft connecting the implement to the tractor. Make sure it's enclosed in a non-rotating shield. Turn off the PTO when inspecting an equipment problem or making repairs. Some tractors have an automatic PTO shut-off if you leave the tractor seat. Tractor-buying begins here.
