Hey guys,

I wanted to share a story about a man who passed this week as a result of a tractor accident near where I grew up, a little less than an hour south of Columbus, Ohio. The bush hogging part is especially rough to think about:

The Herald - Circleville, OH > Archives > News > Stoutsville man dies in tractor mishap

I ran around some with this man's younger son. Mr. Bresler had two sons, one around 40 and one 35. He was only 58, so it's great his boys had their dad around for so long considering all of their ages. I wanted to note he had his farm for about 20 years, and had probably bush hogged or mowed the area where the accident occurred dozens of times. This is a reminder to me that while experience and familiarity with an area or tractor are so important, they do not make one safe in and of themselves.

Whew, what a tough way to go. I suppose all of us older folks used many tractors without ROPS and seat belts, but it sure is a good idea that tractors have them now.

That's very sad & was hard to read.
