Tractor might look like easy and
safe to handle when it comes to comparing it with other heavy equipments. This
equipment seems straightforward but yes things do go wrong even with a tractor.
Tractors are versatile equipment that have been and will be around in future. And
like in case of other equipment, you need to be known that there are dangers
involved.
1. Knowledge about your tractor
is must before you start using it. Reading and understanding the Operator's
Manual(s) before operating it will prove to be a very good guide for you. Also,
keep your equipment in good condition.
2. Use ROPS and seat belt
whenever and wherever applicable. If your tractor has a foldable ROPS (Rollover
protection structure), fold it down only when absolutely necessary and fold it
up and lock it again as soon as possible. Do not wear the seat belt when the
ROPS is folded. Most tractor fatalities are caused by overturns.
3. If you are familiar with your
terrain and work area, it will come in handy for you. You can walk the area
first to identify any debris or obstacles that could hinder your ability to
drive safely. Use special caution on slopes and turns, slow down for all turns
and stay off the highway as much as possible.
4. Never start an engine in a
closed shed or garage. Exhaust gas which is transmitted from tractor contains
carbon monoxide, which is colorless, odorless and deadly.
6. Keep your hitches low and
always on the drawbar. Otherwise, your tractor might flip over backwards.

7. Never get off a moving tractor
or leave it with idle. Shut it down before leaving the seat. A runaway tractor
can be extremely dangerous if you forget to turn it off while not using it.
8. Do not refuel your tractor
while the engine is running or hot. Additionally, do not add coolant to the
radiator while the engine is hot; hot coolant can erupt and scald.
9. Keep all children off and away
from your tractor and its implements at all times. Children are generally
attracted to tractors and the work they do. However, a tractor's work is not
child's play.
