Be especially careful on highways. Direction signals or hand signals should be used. A rear view mirror helps keep track of rear approaching vehicles. Be sure that brakes are adjusted properly and locked together. Do not permit others to ride.
Tractors have a seat that is designed for only one person.
Many heartbreaking accidents have occurred to passengers on a tractor. Operate the tractor smoothly - no sudden turns, starts or stops. Rapid engagement of the clutch or quickly shifting a hydraulic transmission to high speed could tip the tractor backwards especially when towing a load or starting up a slope. Severe braking at high speeds can cause fish tailing or jack knifing. Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended by the tractor manufacturer.
