Tractor show last weekend, saw two accidents first hand with no injurys. One a guy left his JD sitting overnight. Someone got on it and had it in gear with the clutch engaged while he had it parked there.. he started it without checking if it was in neutral and off it went with him hanging on the steering shaft trying to knock it out of gear. NOT good! It hit a trailer load of stuff in the sale area before someone ran up and killed the ign switch. The other one was a guy on a larger JD standard sat on the rope of a trip plow and when plow unhitched from hitting something, off flew the seat he was sitting on. He was just a few yards from a mucky water filled ditch about 8 ft deep but got it stopped ok. Both guys were lucky. I am just glad the insurance people didn't see it or show insurance would go way out of sight. Be careful out there folks! This old stuff we play or work with caused many old farmers I knew to loose fingers, hands, legs and lives. Grandpa used to say " The most important safety device in the world sits on your shoulders".
