[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1822585, member: 40335"] Had a summer job working for the hwy department when I was in college mowing the ditches. One guy rolled his tractor over up side down when he ran off of a culvert. He had a sickle cutter attached on the side of the tractor that he was using to mow around sign post. He was hanging up side down still fastened in the seat by his seat belt. A couple of guys had to hold him up with their shoulders while some else unlatched his seat belt to get him down. I don’t have seat belts on any of my tractors but should have. I tend to run my tractor pretty fast when cutting or raking hay. Many of times I have had a back wheel off of the ground while turning too fast. That’s a bad habit that I have been trying to quit. It’s something I have just gotten complacent about doing. And I really should install seat belts on my tractors. Remember when I was a boy catching the school bus. Our bus drive was killed when the old John Deer tractor that had the tricycle front wheel flipped straight up and back over on a disc implement he was pulling. That was over 50 years ago and would bet tractors back then didn’t have seat belts but in that situation a seat belt probably wouldn’t have done any good. [/QUOTE]
