GFG, if we succeed in making you think about it, we are content. Tractors are not toys, regardless of the John Deere mystique.


We built this house into the only bad hill on the farm. Pop was glad to be rid of it.
My dad never gave me the chance to think tractors as toys. And we don't use John Deere.

Good for your Dad! Tractors are a great piece of equipment on the farm but, they need to be treated with proper respect as does all farm equipment.

Yes, he is a wonderful Dad, and I am proud to be his child. I'll tell him you said that, by the way. :)

Hubbys favorite line is "it'll be fine!"
When ever he says that, I cringe!

My ex lost an uncle to a tractor roll over, years ago. Even though it would take a lot to roll my tractor over, I freak out on any kind of slope!
I've rolled a tractor once (new land I wasn't used to, aparently there was a ditch I ran into or somethin) ended up in the hospital for a LONG time, broke a rib and it shot thru one of my lungs, not to mention almost every bone in my body was broke, I was in a coma for about a week my folks said, it cracked my skull open. So I still cringe goin over any tiny little slope, hole, or whatever, and I've been doin this stuff my entire life.

My Great great Grandpa brought the first John Deere's to Oklahoma, just thought I'd share LOL.

Lost another one over this past weekend. A 52 year old man.

Monroe County Sheriff Dennis Pedersen says the man was working with his 59-year-old girlfriend to get a piece of equipment set up to disc a field. The man was between the equipment and the tractor and his girlfriend was on the tractor. The sheriff says he got caught and was backed over.

A 14 year old was killed this last weekend.

Her 16 year old brother was pulling, with a skidsteer, a tractor that wouldn't start. She was driving the tractor. Both the skidsteer and the tractor over turned. She was pinned under the tractor and died instantly. Her brother is fine.

Please be careful and don't have the kids doing things that they shouldn't be doing.
