Sometimes when people cut corners to save time and
money they end up on the short end of the stick. For
example: About 10-15 years ago a local farmer was
headed down a 4-lane U.S. highway at dusk on a 40xx
JD with 12 ft. of toolbar on the 3-pt. and no lights. He
got into the passing lane to turn left across the median
and onto the frontage road on the other side. An 18-
wheeler was passing him in the right lane when a
compact car got into the left lane to pass the semi. The
little cars" driver never saw the tractor due to the tractor
having no lights, speed differences involved and the
angles of sight of the truck and passing car. The car hit
one end of the toolbar and turned the tractor over in the
median, killing the farmer. No one else was seriously
injured. No lights, no ROPS, big difference in speeds
and a toolbars" leverage made the tractor the unlikely
loser. Sad tale....but true.
