  1. The Tractor Set 4 http://agro-sp.tradenote.net/images/users/000/024/170/products_images/John_Deere_5510_Farm_Tractor.jpg Marissa Morton SAAIP Top Jobs Intern http://members.fortunecity.com/mille1983/bilder/magnummx240.jpg

  2. Tractor Purposes • Tractors were designed for 4 primary purposes: • Load Mover (High Lift) • Remote Power Source (PTO) • Implement Carrier (3 Pt. Hitch) • Transport Unit (Drawbar Unit) Tractors are work horses, not race horses.

  3. Hazard Groups • Hazard Groups can be categorized into four groups: • Overturns • Runovers • Power Take-Off Entanglements • Older Tractors

  4. Overturns • About 50% of tractor fatalities are from tractors rolling either sideways or backwards. • Common examples of tractor overturns include: • Turning/Driving too close to bank edge or ditch • Driving too fast on rough roads and lanes • Driving tractor straight up a slope that is too steep • Turning a tractor too sharply with front end loader raised high http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/noirs/images/slide12.jpg

  5. Runover • Three basic types of runovers include those when: • Passenger/Extra Rider falls off of tractor • Operator falls off or is knocked off of tractor • Someone is standing on the ground near the tractor http://www.cdc.gov/nasd/docs/d001501-d001600/d001572/as99005b.gif

  6. Power Take Off (PTO) Entanglement • The PTO stub turns between 540 and 1,000 revolutions per minute (or 9-17 times per second) • A person may have their arm or leg around the PTO stub before they ever realize they are in danger. • A PTO master shield should be used to cover the PTO and protect the operator PTO shafts kill or cripple countless victims http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/agsafety/images/pto_image003.jpg

  7. Older Tractors http://circlepplusranch.com/images/case.jpg • Many farms use 30-40 year old (or older) tractors • Reasons these tractors may be unsafe • Lack of ROPS and seat belt • Seat without arm and back rests (pan seat) • Seat doesn’t adjust easily • No safety start system • No Bypass starting protection • Rear brake and brake pedals don’t operate properly • Front wheels don’t turn as quick as steering wheel • Tractor has no warning flashers • No PTO master shield or it isn’t of adequate protection
