Surely a more Health and Safety pic could be used for attached advert?

You ain’t seen the state of the council highways around here then.

I was going to say council maintained highways but that would just be the stupid misuse of a word

Oh come on, everyone has gone down a track with one bag on. Could have made the photo more interesting if he was doing it in reverse, maybe in crab steer as well to double the fun?

It is very common. I was reading all about the virtues of an orchard tractor with positive pressure cab and carbon filter for the safety of the operator.
Then in the video of it working in an orchard the driver had the sun roof open. WTF?
And how many videos marketing some new attachment with the pto guard spinning at 500rpm, or the salesman riding on the foot steps to the cab and jumping on and off when the tractor is moving.

Unlike you young sparks ,with not enough hours in the day, I happened to notice the advert while I was reading the NFU mag ,while eating my poached eggs and ham for breakfast.

Thanks all , for having a sense of humour, on a situation that we all do, but not good when a “ loop cuts through and bag drops like a stone” thankfully with no one under it.

You've got to feel sorry for him - he's probably sold 5t of wheat to pay for that bag full.

I think this is an over reaction get a long handled knife to cut the bags so you don’t get under them. I’ve handled thousands of fert bags on pallet tines and never had one anywhere near break they are single use so don’t degrade like seed bags the only ones I’ve seen break have been pierced in the side of the loop getting the tine through the loop or sliding up the tines due to bad operator skills. Of all the things I will be doing over the next month I’d say this is pretty safe In between fert spreading however myself and my brother will be calving 230 suckler cows now that is dangerous and worries me to death but how do you make that safer? The only thing I can see wrong is the bag should be at the heel of the tine where it cant slide
