These are some basic safety tips that can help the new tractor owner or the experienced operator. Here are some product suggestions. I'm no tractor or safety expert, but I'm happy to share my experience with you and look forward to hearing from you in the comments. Please post your tips to share with others.

I still say that your voice is perfect for a tv host. Its understandable well pronouce no hesitation. DIY tv should have a half hour tv show about tractors and I nominate you.

Common sense stuff but you can never hear it enough. Great info

Thank you for reminding us of the safety rules around tractors.

Good tip. Safety is so often overlooked by folks working at home.

Have lived all my life on construction sites I have seen it all, Safety diligence is a must have skill that needs constant attention. Good vid and reminder. Cheers.

Agree with you and your friends comments. I had a friend who’s arm was ripped from his shoulder from power take off and he was an experienced operator but one mistake was all it took. I was running my Kubota today with bucket to capacity. Every move was making sure I wouldn’t tip, slow, sure and safe.
BTW; I think of Fred Rogers when I watch you. He was great at presenting anything. Thanks again.

Always zip up your jacket when working around a tractor. Promptly zips up jacket. Jacket is unzipped for remaining scenes. 😂😂😂

Great video, Ed! Thanks for sharing such a good collection of safety tips. Very helpful for tractor operators, both new and seasoned!

Great safety comments! I almost had my Kubota L2900 turn over one day while grading around my 1500 foot garage under construction! Thanks for the tips!

Cut your hoods strings shorter. That is the kind of thing to get you hurt quickly. When you were looking at the pto they were close to your hands. Good points, thanks.

Some excellent tips there, Ed! I liked the intro showing that fancy handle! Thanks for displaying it! When i got my first tractor I didn't give any thought to ballast, I never had a problem, but I was lucky I never had an issue. I know better now. Ballast is so important! Have a safe new year! Cheers!

Good info and video thanks for sharing

You need the PTO cover chain at each end. They aren't great when not chained properly. There should be a grease nipple at the base which has to be done. The new quick release PTO covers are good - on the shopping list.

Thanks for the tips with a front end loader! I actually learned quit a bit watching it! Wayne

[michaelwooster]

Newbie question...if tires are filled for added weight, any special considerations when checking tire pressure?

[JWimpy]

Very good video. Valuable information.

Terrific tips here, Ed. Thanks for putting this video together. The “no front brakes” reminder might save my bacon someday. FWIW, I’d suggest that eye and hearing protection are important too. The B2601 operates at noise levels that can result in long-term hearing loss.
