Do you wear your seat belt on your tractor?

Hi, I never drive my Kubota L2800DT tractor without putting on my seatbelt. Do you drive with or without your seatbelt?

ROPS up, seatbelt on. ROPS down, seatbelt off.

I've never worn the seatbelt ... not many (in fact ZERO) other tractors driving around on my property that may crash into me.

I wear mine probably 80% of the time. Only time I don't is if I am just puttering around and/or getting on and off a lot.

Me too.

Me three....Kubota made the L39 difficult to shift the GST if you don't have the seatbelt buckled, so that help remind me. The female end pops up and interferes with the gear selector.

I'm the same as the other guys. I wear it most of the time except for the very short back and forth. It is on even when I mow the lawn. Only "work" I do where I don't wear it is when I till the garden. That's because I tend to hop on and off to pick up rocks that have been stirred up.

I do, almost all the time. Sometimes I feel silly buckling up, but then I remeber reading one of the sad stories on here and do it anyway. I also know that's it's not just about me, but my family too.

Rarely.

Pretty much all of the time I'm on my tractor (and it's running), I wear my seatbelt. As the others have stated, if I'm mounting/dismounting alot to pick up rocks, trim brush, etc., I may leave it unbuckled. As with my truck it's become a habit to wear it, and it just doesn't feel right without it buckled up.
