Tractor Safety Tips from Celina Insurance Group and Beck Insurance Agency
Match Operator to Equipment
Take into account the driver’s size, experience and decision-making ability when setting your equipment and attached machinery.
One Seat Means One Person
Tractors do not have a safe child care location. Extra riders disrupt the driver’s attention to detail and decision-making abilities.
Rollover Protection System
The safest tractors have a rollover protection system with an enclosed cab.
Maintain Your Equipment
Your checklist should include brakes, guards, hazard decals, signals, lights and other safety devices.
Avoid Side Rollovers
Understand center of gravity and centrifugal force on slopes and hillsides.
Avoid Rear Overturns
Hitch only to the drawbar.
Limit Mixing Tractors And Vehicular Roadway Traffic
Travel during off-peak times when possible. Use a highly reflective slow-moving vehicle emblem.
