Eye protection too.
A few weeks ago I was bush hogging down the weeds from between my new trees. The hog was hitting the odd stone and they would fly a few feet from the front of the hog.
I heard one stone go "thunk-zing" different from the rest. I watched it launch from the hog & it must have just missed the front tire and didn't bounce back onto my self.
The stone carried on a low, fast arc and hit the ground 40 yards from the tractor. It took a single bounce of 5 yards and whacked one of my Thanksgiving turkeys. The turkey did not survive. It was a nice 12-15lb bird. Just glad it wasn't a child.
I have to regularly get off the tractor and chase one of the kids well away from the lawn mower or bush hog. The youngest in particular, age 7 seems to have no clue and is fascinated watching the discharge chute. He'll even run behind, beside or in front of the lawn mower for a few seconds until I see him and stop.
He never thinks to look before crossing the road if excited about something either.
So help me I'm either going to have to tie him up, put a dog training collar on him and/or beat his backside yet another time.
Same Mother and I'm pretty certain I'm also his Father??? Why so different?
The eldest boy when he was only 2yrs and while we were watching a TimberJack haul logs. He was upset and wasn't satisfied until he dragged me 30-40 ft away from the roadway for safety.
The daughter is very cautious too.

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
