Hmmmmmm. Too bad safety has to be so annoying. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif[/img]

I have two small children and an elderly, hard-of-hearing, senile mother. The pets include a dog and a cat. The dog is starting to take on some of Mom's characteristics. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

My kids started out afraid of the tractor, but lately my 3 year old boy is getting braver. Although I constantly warn of the dangers, you never know what's going through the mind of a 3 year old. Mom, unfortunately, is in a similar mental state. The closest call I've had so far was when I was preparing to back up, turned to look and there was Mom about 10 feet directly behind the tractor. "It's okay", she said. "I'm just watching". [img]/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Okay, I'm a high-tech kinda guy -- I'll check to see what a rear-mounted video camera would cost. They're actually pretty cheap these days, but I'll have to look into the cost of a small flat-screen monitor, also.
