I find it interesting that you cannot allow employees to use it. I would think it is ok, just because it was built before such safety devices came about and were made mandatory. Maybe Austraila won't "grandfather" things in.

I was always taught that the best safety feature was a careful operator. I believe it is true. Although, Speaking from my expirence at least, you'll still do stupid things once in a while. I believe myself to be a careful operator. I've been running farm machinery of all kinds since I was 12-13 years old, like many of us here. I've got plenty of expierence, and know better, but from time to time, I still catch myself doing something stupid. Very rarely, though. And, I've almost had accidents. Almost put the 4430 in the ditch once. The duals were hanging over by the time it finished turning. I didn't stand on the brake hard enough while plowing and the headland was quite short. Scary. I put a dent in my barn door last week while shifting the 806 while adjusting the clutch, TA dump valve, and trans brake. It was only sitting about a foot from the door, and I let the clutch out rapidly while it was mistakenly still in gear. Stupid. I wasn't being careful. It was more of a wake up call than anything else.

Point is, be careful. Accidents happen. That's why they're called accidents. Very, very few of us can say they've never had a close call. Just think, and respect the machinery, and you'll be fine.

I don't have many thoughts on making the old stuff comply with safety standards. With some ingenuity it could be done, though. I believe the cost would be impractical, however. It's a shame that safety features seem to be more important than proper training on how to use a piece of machinery. -Andy

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
