As a kid, besides working for Dad at the parts counter, I also worked for him in his custom mowing business. I spent a lot of time riding on the drawbar of a Cub with a Woods 42 belly mower, both with and without a PTO pulley shield. Dangerous? Probably. Did I get hurt? No. Before Dad would let one of us kids operate his tractors, we had to have completed at least one year of the 4H Tractor Maintenance program. In the safety area, the 4H program taught that thers should only be as many people riding on a tractor as there are seats...which usually meant the operator ONLY. So was the dad in question being negligent with his child? Since I wasn"t there, I can only speculate. Is it my business? If there is no incident, I suppose not. MY business is how I raise and train MY kids...if I were responsible for HIS kids, I suppose he could send me his BILLS, too. Just my opinion.
