When is the last time you did some basic PM?

[The Haymaker]

Mapleton man dies after falling under tractor mower — Aroostook — Bangor Daily News — BDN Maine

"Ouch" for all involved.

Terrible accident...
When I think of PM I don't think of a seat coming loose...
I remember as a boy driving those old M Farmall's and how the seat was exposed on the back of the tractor...
This was a tragic accident for this poor gentleman...

The most dangerous PM I do on my RFM is to sharpen the blades...
I purchased jack stands to place under the mower while it is hooked up to the tractor with the lift engaged...
The lift has never failed me but I feel safe under the mower with those jacks placed under the mower...
