Was driving on a 2 lane paved road near my property over the weekend and saw a JD tractor coming at me. Not an unusual site in a rural area. He wasn't pulling anything but I always slow down and hug the right shoulder anyway for tractors. About 100 yds away, he crossed the centerline making a wide right turn like we was turning into a driveway or road. Only there was no road or driveway there. When the front tires were near the shoulder, he swerved back into the roadway. :?: :?:
As I went by him, I saw the reason. He had a kid about 8 yrs old half-standing, half-leaning against his right knee steering (the guy's arm was around him barely touching the steering wheel). He had a toddler on his left knee (holding him with his left arm). :shock: A disaster waiting to happen. There was no way he was in control of that tractor, ON A PAVED ROAD NO LESS. If the toddler slipped, fell or just decided to get off, he would have been under that left rear tire in a split second and nothing the guy could do to prevent it. I hear guys on here talking about teaching kids to drive a tractor at a young age but this was not a good way to do it. Just a reinforcing post that people are still doing dangerous things out there.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
