There's a very sobering video in the article as well.

Safety is an important and often overlooked topic. Make safety a part of your everyday life and let others know how much you care by making their lives safer too. Let the next generation of tractor enthusiasts benefit from your experience, and maybe save a life or appendages.

Re: Great Article on Antique Tractor Safety & Farmer Mods
I live in NY, they did mention it in the article that we have a ROPS program, I have used it myself, NY will pay up to 80% of the cost for a roll bar installed on a tractor, you can do this once a year, I have done this with the big tractors, I have no interest in doing so on a cub

Re: Great Article on Antique Tractor Safety & Farmer Mods
Really great article, but....
Of the stories they told, every one was "because they were in a hurry", and one tractor was "rengineered"
Not to sound unsympathetic, but a bit of caution and attention go a looong ways.
Not saying in every case, i mean, crap happens, but yall get my drift
