Why no seat belt interlock on tractors?

[Fordtech86]

Ford ( maybe others...) no longer put owners manuals in glovebox... you have to lookup, online to get info. Least that's what they do with the battery powered JOKE of a Mustang,had one here for 1/2 day.

Wrong (at least here in the States).

Some vehicles have the manuals loaded into the infotainment system too and you can view them on the touchscreen.

yeah, great idea until the 'infotainment computer dies'......

As for info IN a manual, the wheel nut torque value is NOT in the manual for my '97 F150. I'm guessing that numbe risn't important ??
BTW some of us don't have ANY kind of socalled 'smart' phone

Smart phones are for those of us who recognize we’re not smart enough to benefit from much of what living in the modern world entails without it.
Flip phones are for those who don’t want to engage with the world but want to complain when the world doesn’t automatically do everything for their own convenience. Or if it does do it automatically…bitch about that.

It‘s a lot like someone blaming the car for its safety-features when they’re only qualified to walk.…. or like blaming the gov’t when they’re sick even tho’ they refused to be vaccinated or wear a mask and bitch about hospital costs but don’t like universal health care and then bitch about inflation and empty store-shelves because sick workers aren’t at work. (And then blame the current guy-in-charge because the previous guy-in-charge refused to implement or even listen-to the pandemic-protocols the earlier guy-in-charge established and warned him about because the previous guy-in-charge hated his predecessor.)

My RAM P/U came with a CD in the console in lieu of an Owners Manual…and when I complained about how that was inconvenient when sitting in traffic or on the side of the road trying to figure out the features…they sent me a free Owners Manual about 3 inches thick. I made a pot of coffee and read it all the way through ….and put ”tabs” on the pages I thought most important…. like how to re-set the oil-change-reminder and what type replacement lamps it uses, etc.
That way I can be personally responsible and accountable for its’ use rather than blame others.

just ONE pot of coffee ?? Man that's a lot of reading, though the microcomputers I design with, they're 'datasheet' is now over 500 pages !
My 'oil reminder' is to look at the odometer,I do it every 10K, 110k,120k,130k,.... makes it easy for me to remember. My ride , a '97 F150 doesn't have a 'screen' or CD, just an AM/FM radio....makes life simpler and less stressful.

The purpose of seatbelts in automobiles is to prevent occupants from being ejected or slamming into the steering wheel during a crash. Airbags are designed to limit front seat occupant injuries or death if they are not wearing seatbelts.
My guess is that seatbelts on tractors prevent the operator from being crushed in a roll over. They work with the ROPS.

What a complete load of crap!!

What a complete load of crap!!

It’s actually quite factual.
(And it appears in the posts you’ve made in this thread that you are challenged by modernity in more ways than one. You might benefit from professional counseling.)

Personally, I'm just disgusted by liberal cowardice.
Rather than argue with fools and tyrants, I'll not be leaving folks wondering which of us is which. Think I'll just block you instead.
