Thank you for your security concerns Buickanddeere, I take good note of your comments in this particular case and I also think they must be on everyone’s mind anytime a vehicle or tool is used. Not only this state of mind is important in under-financed environments may it be at the farm, at (self-) work or even simply at home, but it is also, in my view, a key factor for health in well financed and optimally equipped situations. In other words yes a top shape fully functional tool regardless of the cost is a huge plus to security, but even the most sophisticated security device will never replace the awareness of the operator and its ability to be conscious of safety as a whole in a given situation.

Raising security concerns toward someone who plans to pull around the farm a 1,5 ton trailer not equipped with brakes, with an old tractor that probably has 50% breaking capacity left, on flat grounds and at a maximum speed of 4.61 MPH (3rd gear speed on a Massey-Harris, my 4th gear just wouldn’t pull that load) is a valuable advice and its just fine from you to do so. But for the rest, Buickanddeere, deciding if I should have brakes installed on the trailer or else if I should use a wheel barrow to move the stuff around, don’t worry so much, there are chances that I could be better placed than anybody else to see the different aspects involved, including your concerns, and take the proper decisions to minimize the risks.

Thanks again
