A good friend of mine had spent a day last week combining in his dad"s new JD combine (9650?) and had 2 of his boys along in the cab, one in the buddy seat strapped in and the other sitting by his leg looking out the front window (bad idea in hindsight). I see plenty of kids (and adults) in a combine leaning against the front window watching the crop feed into the header, and have done it myself in fact. Well, here"s where it gets downright scary. The next day his father is out (alone thank God) combining and the window suddenly shatters into 1,000,000 little pieces of safety glass, falling into the cab and into the header as well. Could you imagine what grandpa, or dad, or anyone would have felt if one of the kids would have been in the cab and fallen out? They will never allow a rider again unless strapped in the "buddy" seat and are very thankful they didn"t have this happen the day prior. I get the chills just thinking about it. The JD dealer is stil trying to figure out why the window shattered, if it was a mfg defect or the cab twisted or what. Anyway---everyone please keep safe and follow the mfg rules on riders.
