Safe Tractor Operation

Subodh Kulkarni (2004)

Summary

Tractor overturns are the leading cause of fatalities on the farm. In Arkansas, more than 50 people have been killed by tractor overturns in the last ten years. If this ten-year sample follows traditional accident patterns, approximately 500 farmers were seriously injured from overturns. Unfortunately, the human suffering and cost of tractor overturns is staggering.
