- We've got five videos to share today that all demonstrate something to be learned about tractor safety. We're thankful for the folks who uploaded these videos so that we all can be a little wiser, and a little safer the next time we hop on our machines.
Good Works Tractors is happy to be sponsored by Rim Guard Solutions! This is perhaps the most well-known ballast brand on the market today. Rim Guard goes right inside your tires, so it's out of the way, it doesn't freeze, and doesn't corrode. It's made from natural materials, so it's safe around livestock and pets if it spills out. Rim Guard liquid ballast adds more weight to the back side of your tractor improving stability, loader performance, and power to the ground. Find your closest dealer at bit.ly/3d0whX0

Back in my day, we filmed horizontally so you could actually see stuff 🤣
Keep up the good work on these safety videos!
I have said it before, and will say it again, this is always a great reminder to not get complacent for even those of us that have been working machinery for years, as well as helping new operators to learn from the mistakes us older operators may have learned from by doing it the hard way.
My grandpa was killed by his tractor when he tried to come up out of a field onto the main road. It flipped back because of the upward slope. He could have used the field access which was not far away but he tried to go up the ditch instead. I never got to meet him. Take tractor safety seriously.
The 1025 guy: WOW holding on to the strap/chain and then crossing under it and trying to “push” the machine to level! He obviously has never seen a chain/strap break and injury someone worse!! All these videos are a reminder that safety needs to be first and foremost…THANK YOU
Thanks for the video. It's not redundant going over this often, appreciate you guys .
First guy shouldn't have put his leg out either...his leg isn't going to stop it..only break it
Or loose it
It’s reflex but yeh, no leg no more.
He had a TV show "bad Chad customs" or something, wonder if it was somewhat on purpose for entertainment?
A broken leg (might) be better than being pinned under a machine. Maybe!
Good video. These are the reminders that I’m extremely thankful for the lessons my grandfather taught me. Lifelong heavy equipment operator and was a very effective teacher on how to not get killed on a tractor or piece of heavy equipment. Especially when carrying loads, working hills, swinging equipment or when chains and/or PTO shafts are involved. One of those sets of lessons I took for granted until I got out in the world.
Thanks so much Courtney. These safety videos are amazing and show us what not to get into. I remember about three months ago I was helping a neighbor on a slight hill that he had on his front yard with a fence at the top of this hill. I said to myself this is too difficult to go up and down the hill because of the fence. It was only about seven feet up the hill from the dirt road and the angle was at a 20% upgrade. I was not using my 3033R but was using my new Z370R John Deere zero turn all electric mower. So basically I was mowing a bunch of weeds going sideways on this small hill. Well from all of your safety videos I will NEVER do that again. Thank goodness nothing happened except loosing traction on the rear wheels since it only has rear wheel drive. Again because of your safety videos I will NEVER do this again. Thanks so much for these safety videos. Everyone involved here on this video had their tractors 🚜 with all four wells not on the ground, not a good thing. Everyone stay safe out there operating your tractors. 🚜
Keep preaching that safety Brother. Cuz I missed my father growing up, He have been killed on tractor. If we only had these safety videos back then.
What I’ve found is that people don’t realize that the rear axle is solid with no suspension. They see the front axle articulating over terrain and think the back axle does the same thing. Wrong. Whatever slope the back axle is on, or whatever bump the rear tires hit, the whole tractor immediately responds to that. This is especially true when backing up. Hit a rock and the whole tractor is suddenly on a lean.
They were absent in class when the lesson included Center or Gravity.
🎯👍 I was pushing weeds and honeysuckle away for my neighbor, on what I thought was perfectly flat terrain. There was a low place that was hidden. I didn't know what happened until it was over. One rear tire dropped into that low place and almost whiplashed my head off. It was violent and very quick. I'm thankful God was with me and that I was only very sore, instead of dead.
Thank you for the videos... From watching your videos and channel sponsor's, I have added the Bora spacers and finally just added rim guard to my tractor. To go from not having either to having both now, I really feel planted to the ground.
It is easy to get complacent when you do things over and over again with your machine. These videos are always a good reminder to stay safe and aware of the dangers. Thanks for the reminder!
Another good video, I've only got 60 hours up on tractors, you're giving me extremely valuable advice and I appreciate it, thanks.
These are great. I always love learning from others' experiences, good and bad. Thank you to them for being willing to share.
Thank you. These reviews are a true PUBLIC SERVICE.
Bad things happen so quickly people who saw the event are left asking "What happened?"
DOUG out
Well done video. We all need to keep the potential for accidents in mind, no matter what our experience level.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video and very important ! I own a tractor and was a paramedic for thirty years, I have dealt with quite a few heavy equipment incidents , and they usually don’t end well. Be safe and use good judgment, if your inner safety voice kicks in , stop what you are doing.
GREAT TOPIC AND VIDEO!!! 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Thank you. I've never driven a tractor though I'll be buying one within a year. I am so thankful to you for raising my awareness!
Good video. As far as the first almost roll over. He should have just lowered the bucket and put the weight down. People jumping on can make a bad situation worse..
Yes, it happens in a half second. Ive never rolled over but have felt ice run down my spine as both tires lifted off the ground on the high sideof a slope. If i hadn't had my hand on the loader control, and immediately dropped it, I'm sure i would've rolled. I try to always go straight up/down slopes now, with 3pt hitch and loader practically skimming the ground. Great advice from GWT, as always. Thank you
Great information and thank you
Great vid this will definitely save more than 1 life.
I've been in a lot worse places with my BX23S than this, but I use the backhoe often as ballast and offset the backhoe as needed. I believe that keeps me out of trouble. Also slow movements in any iffy situations.
Old gear drive tractor here. No roll bar or seat belt. When I’m in situations that could be sketchy, I have one hand on the loader control and my left foot over the clutch. That way my (quick) first reaction can be to stop and lower the load if things start going wrong. Im experienced and my low brush hog helped stop a backward roll going uphill once when I was trying to push a log out of a trail. Of course, if it wasn’t on the 3 point, the front end wouldn’t have come up. Stuff can happen to anyone.
Glad you said it. Why do these people keep getting close to the winch cable, toe chains, toe straps. The amount of force built up is insane possibly can cut you in half.
Thank you for the video.
“SAFETY PROTOCOL”
Great content.
That video with the guy on the older tractor. Oof hope he was okay. That did not look good. Great video as always.
Oh, it’s good to talk about these things, I come from a four wheeling in rock, crawling background, and most accidents and tip over or just because we’re doing something not normal then we don’t know how to do it yet which is part of the fun but it’s also dangerous. Like you were saying with hills, go straight up and straight down and if it puts you in precarious situation, drag it up instead of trying to carry it up. I think we all need to humble ourselves a little and realize we don’t know everything. And four wheeling and tractors, and ATVs and off-road in general, it seems like everybody goes into it thinking they’re an expert and thinks they’ve got it all covered or have done it a couple of times and think they’re an expert but I’ve been doing it for 20+ years and I’m still learning. Motorcycles as well. I’ve been driving motorcycles for 40 years, and they’re still times that other people can teach me things. But it’s good you do these videos and show people what’s happening that we don’t always get a chance to see until it’s too late and tell people to go slow and give them the basic physics behind all of it to help people out. Plus it’s entertaining. I love watching this stuff and seeing stuff push to the point of failure and just learning how to deal with it. It’s annoying when it happens but overcoming the challenges is part of the fun.
Your dedication to tractor and agricultural safety reaches your audience and increases their awareness of operating a tractor with safety as a priority. Please continue these valuable safety lessons.
Great video. thanks. Geo.
good post, thanks.
Thanks for another great reminder that things can go wrong in an instant.
Great video
My cousin was killed on a big zero turn, if only he’d have waited until the dew burned off that hill.
I'm thankful that my dad and grandpa taught me safety, cause we have hills, in PA, in Lancaster Farming paper 📃 tells farmer's the same safety and in AG days by Penn State, they have a demo on safety and show the same thing and how to stay safe in accidents
It seems that these smaller 4 wd compact tractors are always a little too narrow. The center of gravity is above the front axis and possibly too high. A bunch of older tractors had spin out rims for the back and front tires that can extend to cover another row under the tractor, so that helps. because of this design, I don't think that I want anything more narrow than a Ford 8M, and I think that would push me to the larger compact tractors which begs the question of whether I need 4wd? Is it worth it to take the risks shown here?
The guy with the older tractor was trying to do a “doughnut” on his driveway. Probably stomped on the left brake but there wasn’t enough loose gravel to slide it. Look at his body English, hoping to lean into the slide. 50 years ago, we did slides and doughnuts every night when cleaning off the cow lot with a Massy Harris 30 and grader blade. Slick, smeary concrete made for a fun time.
Thanks for the video a good reminder to be safe. The guy on the McCormick was hotdoging it. No need to be in road gear in a barnyard. It wasn't that it was a geared tractor same could have happened with hydro.
Thank you for what you do!
We can all work hard and have fun. Let's all keep our heads on straight. Leave beer time for after work and don't work when tired.
Good educational video!
That first video was something I did the first time I used my tractor. I was moving propane tank and learned quickly to keep it as low as possible.
The old red tractor is a McCormick-Deering W4 (same engine and everything as a Farmall H). They do have split brakes with a toggle to connect the pedals. I agree he either pressed the left brake, or maybe only the left one was in correct adjustment or working at all. They are pretty fast at 15mph in 5th gear. The critical part is that by stopping one wheel, the action of the differential doubles the speed of the other wheel! So he very suddenly accelerated the outside wheel to 30mph.
Amen. Thanks for the tips. - N Idaho -
I’ve been learning as much as I can before I buy a tractor. In talking to a dealer about stability, he pointed out that the front tires articulate in such away that they do not provide stability when sideways on a hill like you think a front straight axle on a four wheel drive truck would. That’s why it’s extremely important to be mindful of what’s going on with the rear tires and to have the proper ballast, wheel spacers and loader height.
I'm new to tractors. My take aways are:
Put your seat belt on so if the tractor rolls, you don't end up under it.
Keep the center of gravity low by keeping the ballast weight and the bucket low.
Keep the center of gravity low by using wheel weights like Rim Guard.
Go slow.
Back up hills. (What about going down hill?)
Hydrostatic transmissions are easier to control during a quick stop.
You can flip the tires to make the footprint wider or more narrow.
Keep your feet away from moving parts.
Stay clear of tow straps and chains when they are under tension.
I know any of those old antique tractors wether it is a foot clutch or a hand clutch they are both jerky and always always start out in 1st and learn how to stop and ALWAYS be sober and take it easy especially if it has a narrow front (two front tires are less than a foot away from each other)
Wiper fluid in my rear wheels, bought cheap by the 55 gallon drum, was the best thing I ever did for my Kubota L3301. I bought it new, and unloading it off the trailer and driving it ways, I couldn't believe how unstable it was with no ballast, or no load in the bucket! Filled (2/3's filled) tires and my 6' mower on the rear is how I move a 500 pound solar array every spring down a 1/4 mile side hill, plus I take the bucket off and use a bar between the two loader arms, saving the extra weight of the bucket. 23 year crane operator here, I like to think my tilt-o-meter is a bit more tuned up then most, but yeah, complacency is a constant threat for sure.
On that 4th video those guys need to stay outside of the triangle of the cable or chain. If the cable breaks away from the top part of the triangle connected to the tree, then it would have cut them in half. Twice those guys (plus the camera) was inside the triangle. I was cringing watching this.
Just the average guy here, driving the same Kubota AWD HST tractor with 48" loader, 60" snow blower, 50" tiller and 60" belly mower since 1996 on some of the hilliest 13.5 acres of mixed forest, stream and pasture one could hope for. Here's what my response is to your video, by instance:
1. Hang that engine towards the back of the bucket, not off the front edge. Get the weight closer to the front axel. Lower the load so it just clears the ground as the traverse is made. It is also good to have a belly mower on for extra ballast. A belly mower can also act like an emergency outrigger in a tip. Ask me how I know. Square up on level ground for the high lifts.
2. Just crazy, no words.
3. Just crazy, no words.
4. Always put that loader as low as it will go and still clear the ground one is on, every chance one gets. Tip the front edge of the loader up so it does not catch on anything, but ramps up over things instead.
5. Just crazy, but I get what the driver is doing. He's not getting ready to jump off. He's trying to put his weight as far to the right as possible to help balance the rig (as if this would make the difference on a rig as mighty as that in those conditions). Yup, just crazy, young enough to think he'll live forever, along with his cheering buddy. Looks like it's not the first time he has done crazy stuff like this. Good times. I miss 'em. I am too sane now.
I wish I had some flat ground. I hear it does exist. I saw some in Indiana when I was younger.
Lastly, nice truck you have there, in excellent shape. Dump body? I have driven a Subie supercharged Sambar 4wd TT2 since 2005. It's a real workhorse and fits the lifestyle. It's also low enough that with the truck in flatbed mode, that little Kubota tractor in your video could raise that engine up high enough to drop it on the bed of the truck for transport. Great trucks. I transport all my tractor implements to the shop with my Sambar flatbed.
Solid video, if you needed to watch this then you also need to spend the next year on level developed ground with your seat belt on, ROPS up and bucket half full. Tractors are amazing but not inherently safe. 100% GET your tires ALL OF THEM fluid filled, get a tractor 1 size larger than the spec sheet says you need and when it gets sketchy, brake on, clutch in and bucket down - always.
You’re just confirming my decision to get a larger(wider) model compact over a sub compact and buy new with hydrostatic. Probably also fluid filling the tires when I buy. I used to not care so much but now I have boys that need their father and need to see me value safety too. I enjoy a gear drive but my wife wants to learn.
Yes. I have mulch in my lower meadow. To get it to our gardens, I have to come up a hill with a 90 degree turn in it. If I do not take that turn slow, my inside drive wheel comes off the ground and slows me down. That is my reminder to go slow. It really “wakes me up” when it happens.
Banking up steep hills in reverse is a great tip!
I hadn’t figured that turning the tire would cause a tip over but it makes sense. Thanks
love your little white truck. so cool
All good advice, I hope some viewers are taking it on board.🇦🇺🤔
One function I love on my TYM/Branson is it automatically puts you in 4wd if you have the clutch in and you are touching the brakes. Makes sure you still have brakes if you wind up only on your front tires with a heavy load on the front going down hill.
Thank you for sharing. A safety course for tractors owners should be mandatory. Same way hunters ed or driving ed works.
I'm a tractor noob (kinda). Used to mess around on my grandpas old Ford. But now i'm mid 30s, just bought a farm and shopping for the Kubota that will tame my new kingdom. Thanks for the video!
A lot of people don't realize our spread axle tractors are just tricycle tractors when the bucket is way up in the air, I am amazed how tippie my Massie 1723e is with fluid in the rear and a empty bucket all the way up, something I only do on level ground at very slow speed, and that's not often. BTW love the mini stump bucket, have dug over 200 feet ditch and trench, countless Hawthorne tree's (little ones) with 6 foot tap roots, bushes and busting up soil to retrieve fill dirt from the side of the a hill, it's the poor man's backhoe, only one issue, had to shim the attachment because it was popping out of the skidsteer mount, will be welding a piece of 2x1/4 flat bar under the top edge this spring to give a better edge, atm just shimmed near the locking lugs on the bottom to take the slack out, maybe Massey Ferguson skidsteer spec's are not the same as bobcat? idk.
I’ll never forget a near accident I had on my Grandpa’s JD 1020 when I was a kid.
Being young and dumb, about 14 at the time, I was dragging logs and brush across a pasture to a burn pile.
On a return trip, while out of sight of my grandpa, I shifted to high range and opened the throttle wanting to go faster while I wasn’t being supervised.
What was smooth ground at 8-10 mph quickly started the tractor to bouncing and bucking at 15-17 mph with the box blade on the back, and I narrowly missed a cross-tie gate post as I stood on the clutch pedal.
God only knows what would have happened if I had hit the post. I definitely had a guardian Angel watching over me that day.
Moral of the story is I was inexperienced and overconfident. I was fortunate to walk away rattled, and only with a bruised ego. Respect the equipment. We seldom get a second chance.
Good advice... It would have helped the first guy to push the loader lever forward & use the hydraulics to straighten up... and of course the counter weight should be as low as possible..
Sometimes I dont like Ag tires on grassy or muddy side slopes. I find they slip sideways too easily.
Could be how the last guy found he ditch.
With the exception of the last one - these are mostly a case of asking too much of the machine, not knowing how to operate the machine they are on or not risk assessing the work. This is why you never buy a second hand compact tractor. People push them to do too much because they are under powered. Great videos - great safety reminder - keep up the good work!
Bad Chad is one heck of a car builder. Does alot of things old school.
When you hit 1 rear brake with an open rear axle it doubles the speed of the other tire if you leave power on. Spider gears at work.
OSH reports that of all the workplace accidents reported to them
each year most are from FARMS. And of all the farm accident
reports most involve tractors.
!
85% off small farmers "run in " 95% of the "Danger-Zone" of the time. They are Constantly "Rigging-it" & are Way PAST "pushing things to the OVER LIMITS".... Just trying to get-Ahead & to "Feed" US. They need to get paid MORE for their Commodities, so that they are NOT so "Critically RUSHED".
Lower ballast in rear too
Thank you. Please cover PTOs in your next safety video.
I've done things like the first one with the engine. What I try to do if possible is leave enough slack in the chain so I can curl the bucket up as far as I can with the engine just about touching the edge of the bucket. That will raise the thing you're moving without raising the lift arms any higher than necessary. Then lower the lift arms so the load is only a couple inches off the ground. That'll get the whole thing quite a bit lower thereby lowering your center of gravity because even with the load hooked like he had it, the lift arms are still a ways in the air raising the center of gravity. It might not be much but every inch counts. Also make the turn as gradual as possible. The good thing about something like this is the load will hit the ground before you tip over like we saw. It doesn't make it any less scary but you won't go all the way over on level ground.
4:02 Aside from the unsafe practice here, it is also hard on the engine when crankshaft aerates the engine oil.
As far as rear ballast goes. I have work on uneven terrain all time with my tractor and rear ballast usually needs to be carried high for ground clearance. I keep the three point lowering speed control valve backed out all the way so the rear ballast will slam to the ground if the tractor’s center of mass gets set to spicier-est
I have a very scary experience on my tractor too. I was doing similar the the guy moving an engine but mine was unloading a 60" rotary tiller with no rear weight. With my bucket raised as high as I safely can so I can get the tiller out of the trailer, I back up and when I turn the wheel a bit, I felt my tractor slowly tilting. I slowly lowered the tiller to the ground and was able to put my tractor back to its 4 wheels.
Being an equipment operator most roll overs can be prevented with a little common sense. If you are lacking common sense you may want to re-evaluate your decision on buying and or using ride on equipment. Great advice keeping center of gravity as low as possible.
1st guy tire inflation could be also some of the issue
That’s a really nice kubota in first video
People that have never owned or operated one of these small compact tractors you do not need one. These are the most dangerous tractors sold today. This guy is showing you real accidents, listen to him. I have a 23E and have farmed my entire life, I didn't know these tractors were this dangerous until I got mine. Please listen to this video.
A cigarette lighter is dangerous in the wrong place, telling people what they "need" or don't need sounds like the government big brother talking telling us how to live our lives. why not teach new owners how to safely operate their equipment. have you ever volunteered your time to do so?
One big problem is that tractors weren't designed to have a front end loader. Notice a dedicated loader has a solid mounted front axle and the rear oscillates. Tractor front axles oscillate. We all use FELs on tractors but it is important to remember how easily a loader can flip a tractor
Even with the little JD, the guy was on the wrong side of the pull rope. Had the pulley let go, he might have been hurt.
In all my years, nearly 50 by now , I have NEVER seen a seat belt on a tractor. EVER
My tractor is an old Ford gear drive and if you don’t do something stupid like get it in 4th and try to corner like that nothing happens. I normally use 1st or 2nd I used 4th once because I was moving it on the road to a neighbor’s house to cut his yard for him. 4th gear at any rpm feels way too fast so
On the first one his load is not centered on the loader. It is several inches to the right .
On the 1st video front tires were under inflated as well
always ballast your rear tires-cheap way to build in a lot of safety especially with a loader
I was once scooping up some creek-run gravel and my roll bar just barely touched a leaning tree (~10 diameter at the stump end) and knocked it down. It pinned me against the steering wheel so I couldn't go back or forth to get away from it without it totally crushing me. Luckily there was a guy at his hunting camp about 1/4 mile away. I shut down the engine and yelled his name and "help". He finally showed up a few minutes later but had to go back to his camp to get a chainsaw. If he had not been within "ear-shot" (windy, etc.) I'd have been trapped there for who knows how long.
Does anyone else see several triangle of death moments??? It is amazing that humans have the life expectancy that we do.
Thank for for publicizing this most important life and death issue!!!!
As operators sometimes you have to push the limits to get the task done and you are right when you say it happens in the blink of an eyei have just always took time to overlook everything that's a bit dangerous saw what could happen and always be ready on the controls to make emergency drops or whatever needs to happen to counter act it at the end of the day just come home in one piece
told my neighbor he shouldn't bush hog his field in shorts. He laughed it off. 30 minutes later he found that hornets nest.
I was so madd I could not pick up a 3 yard pile of dirt in a wood bin. Lol when I still had pressure with the diesel tracktor good size diesel. When I backed out. It almost flipped over backwards. As it went left a little.? Week suspension lol dverything was stuck n I was madd . 😡
I have done the same kinds of things when I was younger, so not throwing shade from an ivory tower, but the honest truth is these guys were all being stupid. Good for them for sending in the video. Hopefully, they realize that they won a throw of the dice. The last video was just cringe. All three were just out there. No seat belt. No adequate ballast. Doing wheelies. Just dumb. And yes, I have been guilty too. But it will eventually catch up with you.
Grew up on a farm, worked in construction, seen it all. have a nice day. That is all...
1. Keep load as low as you can2. if tipping lower the buckett.3. never jump off tractor.4.never have people standing on sides.
That guy standing in the bight of that recovery rope on that John Deere is asking for trouble
After seeing this I think I'll get dual rear wheels for my Bob Cat tractor.
What does everyone think about water in your tractor tires
Howdyyawl from the land down under. These people if not having training need to have training B4 getting a tractor. Also, never put the robor higher than the front tyres. Having a tractor bigger than the impliment that is being used is a must.modern tractors have a code of operation complience. I run a farm in OZ, all saftey first. Safe tractor driving.😊
