Odd Engine cut off and a possible tip

The seat switch is there to prevent you from standing on the ground and just reaching over to move the tractor forward or backwards 1/2" while changing 3pth impliments. As long as it is connected you have to climb aboard, sit down and then move it that fraction of an inch. That way it is safe!!!
They are also there to stop you from standing up so you can see your FEL when you are trying to do something stupid, like trying to get too close to your garage while clearing snow.....You should climb OFF your tractor, walk around to the front, measure your distance, then climb back on, and move ahead the 4" that you need to hook that drift and drag it back, the SAFE way.

Re my OP, I was only pointing out an unusual stopping situation caused by a seat belt left by me in a weird position so others might avoid it in the future ( safety ). And no, I won 't wear it unless I deem it needed .

Said all in fun with some thoughts, I think most here know safety switch purposes. If I need to adjust attachment connection I will simply move the attachment 'cause mine are small. As for safe, how many people do you suppose, position the tractor, leave running, in gear (hst ) and attach ? I 'll stand to see fel while not moving 'cause if I got off every time I couldn 't see ( 5' 6" ) I 'd never get done work. I had snow 4 times in my life. I also believe in taking responsibility for my actions and base them on my environmental/situational circumstances. Heck, if safety was all that was considered no one would ever operate a tractor :confused2:.

Just thoughts on safety in real life practice.

Ya mean I didn't really need to put all those marks on my garage?.................I gotta buy a tape measure:laughing:

I'm glad my ol Ford doesn't have a seat switch, since I like to stand while mowing on occasion. I used to stand on the 8N when I had it, it was easier on my back when mowing for a few hours.
