I just want to pass on some info that all of us may take for granted. Please be aware of who’s around you while operating anything Tractors, Skidders, Mowers….. ect. Make everyone aware of the dangers of being near heavy equipment it’s use.

In my neighborhood we just had a tragic death of a 4 year-old hit by a skidder backing up with a hay bale.

Just a heart-breaking loss.

Been working accidents, including farm/construction accidents, for a few decades and it’s still hard to grasp how everything can be right with the world and 2 seconds later it all falls apart like a bomb detonating.

Good reminder. Hate the impetus for it. That’s horrible beyond words.
