Drivers Ed and Sharing the Fun

[MarkF48]

Why should I have all the fun driving the tractor around? I can share my toys just as well as the next guy.

Good video and thanks for the link...

I do suggest if you're going to train her on using the tractor, advise her of the safety aspect too, since she wasn't wearing the seatbelt.

I can't remember the last time I wore my seatbelt. Probably because I never have. Really who wears the seatbelt especially when you're getting on and off the tractor all the time doing yard work. :confused2::confused2:

Actually, if the ROPS is up (and it is 95% or more of the time), I have the seat belt on...what I have to watch is I have a tendency to hook the belt even if the ROPS is folded.
Now, there are few areas of my property that aren't sloped.

Me, for one.

I think the ROPS scares me more than not wearing the seat belt. Wasn't paying attention, drove under some sturdy tree limbs, and forgot I had the ROPS back there. Felt for a moment like the tractor might of wanted to do a back flip . Fortunately was at a crawl and got it clutched it quick.

Put the ROPS down then. Either keep it up and wear a belt, or take it down and don't.
To do otherwise it so invite the ROPS to crush you in the event of a rollover.
