- Let's talk about tractor safety. With the growth in popularity of compact and subcompact tractors, more small property owners are joining the tractor community. These are some basic safety tips that can help the new tractor owner or the experienced operator. Here are some product suggestions. I'm no tractor or safety expert, but I'm happy to share my experience with you and look forward to hearing from you in the comments. Please post your tips to share with others. This video features the Kubota B2601 compact tractor and Land Pride attachments. I will discuss the PTO, 3 point hitch, front end loader, and other important features.

Always zip up your jacket when working around a tractor. Promptly zips up jacket. Jacket is unzipped for remaining scenes. 😂😂😂
I still say that your voice is perfect for a tv host. Its understandable well pronouce no hesitation. DIY tv should have a half hour tv show about tractors and I nominate you.
You’re very kind. I really appreciate that. Happy new year!
Great info , thanks.
Cut your hoods strings shorter. That is the kind of thing to get you hurt quickly. When you were looking at the pto they were close to your hands. Good points, thanks.
Thank you. You know, I saw that in editing and thought the same thing, haha!
Common sense stuff but you can never hear it enough. Great info
Thank you.
Great video! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for reminding us of the safety rules around tractors.
Thanks for watching!
Good tip. Safety is so often overlooked by folks working at home.
You need the PTO cover chain at each end. They aren't great when not chained properly. There should be a grease nipple at the base which has to be done. The new quick release PTO covers are good - on the shopping list.
Thank you. I'm not the best in manuals. You definitely help me
Thank you!
Very well put together a video
Thanks, Brock!
Excellent!
Agree with you and your friends comments. I had a friend who’s arm was ripped from his shoulder from power take off and he was an experienced operator but one mistake was all it took. I was running my Kubota today with bucket to capacity. Every move was making sure I wouldn’t tip, slow, sure and safe.
BTW; I think of Fred Rogers when I watch you. He was great at presenting anything. Thanks again.
That's very kind, thank you. So sorry to hear about your friend.
I see the similarity in the voice and cadence of delivery. You are very good at explaining things just like Mr Rogers.
Thanks for the tips with a front end loader! I actually learned quit a bit watching it! Wayne
Thanks Wayne. I appreciate the feedback. -Ed
As always, very pleasant way to present an important subjecr
Thank you. Very much appreciated. Happy new year.

Thanks very much for watching. -Ed
Good info and video thanks for sharing
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great safety comments! I almost had my Kubota L2900 turn over one day while grading around my 1500 foot garage under construction! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching. Stay safe! Be sure to catch the live stream Monday night at 7 PM!
Thanks for this video. Good reminders & tips. I pick up my new tractor for the farm this week. Thks 👍

Simple but good safety-tips!👍
Thanks! 👍
Nice information, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video, Ed! Thanks for sharing such a good collection of safety tips. Very helpful for tractor operators, both new and seasoned!
Thanks very much, Martin!
Very good video. Valuable information.
Thanks for watching. Very much appreciated.
Some excellent tips there, Ed! I liked the intro showing that fancy handle! Thanks for displaying it! When i got my first tractor I didn't give any thought to ballast, I never had a problem, but I was lucky I never had an issue. I know better now. Ballast is so important! Have a safe new year! Cheers!
Thanks Mike. Happy new year to you!
I lost my pants 50 yrs ago from a uncovered pto shaft, also have turned 2 tractors over, one sidewayys, the other endoed
had ballast on the one that we nt endo, but left bucket off and so ballast wasnt needed and worked against me, did have seat belt on and rops up both times
@@johngoodwin8889 wow thanks for your comment. It’s a good reminder that these things happen.
Terrific tips here, Ed. Thanks for putting this video together. The “no front brakes” reminder might save my bacon someday. FWIW, I’d suggest that eye and hearing protection are important too. The B2601 operates at noise levels that can result in long-term hearing loss.
Thanks Larry. Good points here. There is surely a more comprehensive list that could be discussed. Maybe a follow up or part 2 will be in order sometime 👍
A ton of great tips and reminders! Thanks Ed!
Thank you! Much appreciated. Happy new year. -Ed
Happy New Years. All good stuff. Take care.
Happy new year! Thank you.
Good evening Sir 😊👍 Great safety tips in deed 👍😊 it is very important to read the operating manuel of the tractor 🧐👍 There is great safety tips into that manuel 👌 You made a great safety video Ed 👌👍 Keep up the great works Sir Cheers !!!
Thanks very much, Dave!
@@MyClutteredGarage 👌😊
Happy & "Safe" New Year to you all in your CLUTTERED GARAGE!!!
Happy new year! You're so punny!
What shredder is that? Appreciate your content.
Thank you LB. I’m not sure which shredder you are referring to. The mower shown here is the land pride 60 inch finish mower. Thanks for watching!
I think someone should start a safety / operator training course for first-time tractor owners... but he would have to have years of hands-on experience... I will do my part with upcoming videos this summer to help
Yes! As “non professionals” we can only offer advice from our perspective.
@@MyClutteredGarage you do a great job.... you try to help others even if by trial and error I think that's great
Nope ... dont need more control in our lives. Just dont be an idiot even if youre an idiot.
Anyone here because they almost rolled over in the first 30 mins of use 🤣
I am!
I just sold my 1960 Ford 851 and bought a TYM T264. My Ford had weighted tires and a counter balance weight.
I didn’t bother with either on the TYM. Things were going fine. Rear tires lifted a little with a wet heavy load but no worry. Then the front left tire sunk into the wet stuff. Well, she tipped and lifted in about a 45 degree. Bout, shit my pants 🤣
Now I have my box grader on!
Wear your belt and keep the ROPS up!
Also, thanks for the tips in the comments everyone. They do matter. I’m betting you all had your own scares.
Ah the pucker factor is common! Thanks for watching.
Newbie question...if tires are filled for added weight, any special considerations when checking tire pressure?
You’ll want to check your pressure with the valve stem at the 12 o’clock position. Thanks for watching.
Hey what did u use for perforated steel for your brush guard? Size and thickness please?
Hi, check out my video #25. There are details and a link in the video description. Thanks for watching. -Ed

Hey if you want a step for you tractor the step for the b2650 fits the 2601
Thank you. I have thought about that. Much appreciated.
The slip sleeve on your PTO shaft needs chained to the implement so that it CANNOT turn. There should be a safety chain with your shaft or your implement it is a small light duty chain. Just food for thought. Long time farm manager and 25 year front line paramedic.
Thanks very much. Some of my equipment included the chains, yet my Land Pride attachments did not.
Should the PTO shaft cover be chained to prevent it spinning?
Apparently, many implements are not including chains anymore. So I'm not sure if it really matters.
I have a lawn on bit of a slope. Wondering what's the safest way to bush hog it without falling to the side.
If you can, mow perpendicular to the slope rather than parallel. Alf use 4 wheel drive. Good luck!

If safety is your consern, avoid jackets with a string in your hood on your jacket, (like you are wearing). If that string get caught in someting spinning, it is going to hurt....
Man I cannot wait to buy a budget tractor and add an option somehow for front loader
Have you watched Paul and Kathy Short RUclips channel? He loves the Kubota
Indeed I have. He's a great fabricator! Thank you.
All tractors with fel sold in Australia have to be self leveling loaders from my understanding
Interesting. Thanks for watching.
181222 Local woman rolled tractor LOST 2 legs + arm. Apparently crossing slope at an angle. She'll never do that again.
Sorry to hear that. Accidents happen so quickly. :(
My dad says that he would rather have his toes crushed then them being cut off by the steel towe boots
I get why he would think that, Tyler, but that’s not the best logic. Anything that would do that much damage to a steel toe boot would have destroyed your toes long before. Thanks for watching! -Ed
Pto is safe even when the engine is on. Just dont engage the thing. In my 20 years off and on operating tractors, big bad 100+ horsepower Hay punishing machines, never has PTO ever engaged mystically or from some phantom force. Just dont be an idiot. But Cluttered Garage is right. Since most people are idiots, it would be significantly safer to just turn off the engine. And I do remember working around spnning PTO shafts and spinning round balers and square balers etc... dangerous but again if you are not an idiot you will, well should be fine.
With my old Ford 9N, the only way to operate the 3 point hitch was when the pto was engaged. It was really problematic if you were mowing and stalled in high grass. And when you depressed the clutch, the pto would stop. It was also dangerous as that pto had to spin pretty much all the time. Of course, things have improved since the 1940s & 50s!
NEVER USE FLUID IN YOUR BACK REAR TIRES
Why not?
I would say, Always use fluid in your rear tires
Fluid in tractor rear tyres had been done for decades to improve tractor stability.
If you say never do this then at least explain why.
Kasey Casece please respond back. Explain why not to put fluid in your tires.
Kasey is the best kind of troll! He drops a hand grenade in a crowded room and merrily runs away never to be seen again!
