Set the parking brake!

Maybe even tie it down.

Nobody behind the wheel! That concrete sonotube footing for the light tower put a stop to it.

The first day using my 2025r I had it start to roll away. With JD you have to put it in neutral to get off it and leave it running. With my previous Kubota I could leave it in gear and get off it and it would stay in place on flat ground. It probably just a good idea to set the brake. If my FEL is on and my ballast box is on, I still just drop those and don’t set the brake if I’m on flat ground.

That second video shows a good reason to not have a cab. Near the end someone was trying to get into the tractor, and struggling due to it apparently being locked.

It was moving rapid enough that one would have to be careful around it, but potentially not fast enough to prevent climbing on, or reaching for the controls.
