Safety is usually an afterthought to younger people and when one has a number of years of operating machinery and their share of close calls/lessons learned the hard way they will take things more seriously. Some things I would relay along with the story of a person I know who had the corresponding accident - do not get near a pto shaft when pto is engaged or you could get tangled up (happened to a friend who was entangled and ended up with a broken hip and several other injuries), do not get hands,feet etc near any machinery that is in gear or you could be injured (neighbor got hand bit by corn picker, friend of my dad got both legs into a silage blower kicking at bridged silage in a wagon) , Be careful on slopes (my grandfather tipped over a tractor) , do not start tractor by jumping starter while on the ground , or try to slightly move a hand clutch tractor while on the ground ( neighbor ran himself over jumping starter , aquaintance ran himself over and was killed while trying to move a hand clutch JD to hook something up.). And several more , I agree just lecturing a young person will not be real effective. I would also add that newer tractors with more safety features can be compared to older tractors without them and that is another way to explain safety practices. All of the examples I mention were operators of 55 years old or older.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
