Most common accidents are caused from: Tractor rollover Improper starting procedures Crushing and pinching during hitching Collisions with other motor vehicles Entanglement in PTO shafts Falling from tractor Be sure everyone is clear of tractor and attached equipment before starting engine. Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.
