It never hurts to have a reminder every once in a while. Last I checked, several farmers every year lose their arms or life taking shortcuts while working around a live pto shaft. Bet they would pay anything to have been reminded. It goes to show the dangers when we get lazy or just lose concentration after working long hours. Safety features on new equipment is on there for a reason, because that type of accident happen several times over. Not just one occurance. Never Never take safety for granted.....Your life depends on it.
Quick story...I had my 4 year old son riding on my B7500 Kubota compact tractor. I stopped to open the gate. I put it in neutral, but didn't set the parking brake or let down the bucket and left my son sitting in the seat. It was fairly flat ground and wouldn't really move very far. My son started to panic when it started to move and tried getting off. I saw what was about to happen and ran to keep him from getting ran over by the back tire. I grabbed him just in the knick of time before the tire almost pulled him under. The rear wheel ran over my leg, but I only got a couple of scuff marks on the skin. Luckily my son was unharmed and only scared. That was the worst feeling I have ever had. I saw his life flash before my eyes. To this day, if he is riding with me, I put the parking brake on, lower the bucket, and even shut off the engine just in case.
