Well I half way agree with you but if you do not allow passengers then you will not have the next generation involved with your hobby. I am not going to let a young person loose on a tractor without myself riding to supervise.
I was at a sale a few years ago of the farm where the lady and her husband farmed that really pushed for the safety decals about flowing grain on gravity wagons. I think that they lost a child or just about did in a gravity wagon accident. I talked to her husband a few days after the sale. He told me that she really went crazy on farm safety. She would not let any of the other children do much of anything on the farm. She would travel the country giving speeches on how dangerous a farm was. Her husband was real bitter about her actions. His farm was a multi generation farm and none of the other children wanted anything to do with it. So he had to sell out. He blamed her attitude for causing the other children not being interested in farm life.
So we need to walk the line between safety and letting the next generation learn/enjoy farm life. Just about all of us on here started put early operating equipment.
I know of a antique show that is just about a nothing now that used to be real big. They went crazy with a bunch of rules for "safety" and soon had almost zero people showed anything at the show anymore. My kids summed it up. They told me why go since they could not drive/ride anything. So we quit taking anything to that show. I have not been to it in over ten years. So you an bet that my grand children will not go.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
