Someone trying to rescue you could certainly sue you.

Ok, let's do this. On what grounds? Spell them out please. I will respond to every point like it's a notice of complaint and I'm filing my response in court.

We must stand together against this evil!

I keep my safety switch intact for the reason it could save the engine if I tip my tractor over. I'm not sure if have the presents of mind to reach down and turn the key off if I'm on my side. I plan on living after a tip over and will need the tractor after that.

I respect your right to make choices that are right for you! As we all should.

Yeah, that's the plan, when I find a good illuminated rocker switch.

you could also put a timer on it to go back to safety mode after it timed out that way you wouldn't forget to, still install a lighted switch to tell you if it was on or not

Could you use a mercury switch to shut it down when it reaches like 45 or 60 degree tilt ? One switch to turn off the seat safety and a Mercury switch in case you tip her over.

Neat idea!

Whoah! That's a great idea! I'm looking on amazon for mercury switches.

As for the illuminated switch, that's more for fun than anything else. I know what position the switch is in because of the labels I used.

I did the same thing on my tractor. It seemed like it always stayed in the off position. I never found the task where I felt like it was an essential safety feature.

I have plans for something like this myself. My situation is always the "visual" thing. Even though I have experience driving a forklift, I found out right quick that running forks on a tractor on uneven ground is nowhere near the same as a forklift on smooth concrete. I'd like to be able to stand up to see. Sometimes would be nice for bucket work as well as I'm not real experienced with my bucket. Thanks for making the video.
