Nowadays, most people do not use Farmall tractors as everyday work horses, but my farm still does. My Farmall M has been in constant farm use since 1941. There are various safety issues with this. I cannot allow employees to drive it as it does not comply with various Occupational Health and Safety laws in Victoria. In addition, many younger workers are frightened of it. It looks heavy and it is noisy (compared with new tractors). We have never had a serious injury or even a near miss with the Farmall, but I am very aware of the dangers of working with these machines. I never work on the motor under any circumstances when it is running. No one rides on the tractor with me. The children in the family are all told it is not a toy. We have a comprehensive first aid kit and we avoid working alone, especially at night. No doubt there are other things I could do. Any ideas for better safety arrangements with old tractors would be most welcome. Thanks.
