An accident with one or both wheels on one side of the tractor sliding down an embankment causing a rollover was the most common accident. Fluid filled tires lower the center of gravity, improve traction, and can prevent sliding, loss of control and roll over. Tractors equipped with front-end counterweights also have improved traction and stability. Brakes need to be carefully maintained. Operating tractors is illegal for children under 16 unless they are working on a family farm.
Tractors are enormously helpful.
