Read articles →A safety-focused walkaround from a B2601 owner covering proper attire, PTO and three-point hitch hazards, ROPS statistics pulled from the National Ag Safety Database, front-end loader center-of-gravity risks, driving downhill without front brakes, and road flasher use. It goes a level deeper than a quick tip list by explaining the why behind each hazard. Best suited for new compact tractor owners who want a practical, owner-perspective safety primer.
An owner-operator channel run by someone who uses a Kubota B2601 on a 33-acre property for DIY and land management projects, so expect a personal, non-commercial perspective with no professional safety credentials claimed.
Even with the tractor off, bumping the control can drop the hitch and pinch your arm if it's between the hitch and PTO while hooking up.
According to the National Ag Safety Database, ROPS combined with a seat belt are 99 percent effective in preventing injury or death.
Tractors don't have front brakes, so with weight on the loader the rear wheels lose traction; engaging four-wheel drive helps act as a brake.
The bucket isn't level without auto-leveling, so it can spill backward and jerk or catapult material onto the operator at the top.
