We'll say a prayer here for the family.
There is a local farm boy and when he was 20 he went swimming and jumped into a river and his head hit a rock and he too is paralyzed. It can happen any where any time.
Yes years ago my older brother and I along with our dad decided that we wouldn't have any riders on the tractors, if we couldn't walk the 100-400 feet between the buildings we shouldn't be out there in the first place. We had an IH - A,H,M, 460 & 560. None of them had fenders. The 460 had a loader but we never used it for a personnel lift. It had a narrow front and nor did we flip it over.
I bought a planter from an old farmer several years back and he had an IH - H tractor with a loader and narrow front, he built an extension on his loader about 12 longer off the end of the loader and put a man bucket on it then ran ropes back to the tractor to the hydraulic controls so he could lift & lower himself up to and down from roof tops of his buildings. There was no one on the tractor at those times either.
I hate to say it but people like this person I just described is why we have osha today. Machines may change but the way people think doesn't always change.
