As Alexandra gets older, she is definitely more mobile and likes to explore everything. When we go to our family Ranch, we have to make sure that she knows to stay off the tractors and other equipment. We want to teach her the importance of Tractor and Ranch/Farm Safety. This is to ensure that our time out at the “Ranch” is a happy and safe time! So we will be abiding by these 10 commandments!!
Kubota’s 10 Commandments of Tractor Safety for Kids:
Kubota’s 10 Commandments of Tractor Safety for Kids:
- Stop, look and listen when playing outside, especially on the farm, and always be aware of your surroundings.
- Farm equipment is not safe to ride on even when an adult is present.
- Tractors are not toys. They are powerful machines only to be used by adults who are thoroughly familiar with the equipment.
- Children should never ride on a tractor, a tractor only has one seat and that seat is intended for the operator. Just say *no* if someone wants to give you a ride. It is not safe to be a rider when the tractor is intended for one operator.
- Stay out of the path of all moving equipment. And, stand far away from a tractor when it is being started; when it is running; and especially when it is working.
- Never stand behind a tractor – whether it is running or not – because the operator might not see you and you could get hurt.
- Be a “safety first sheriff” and encourage use of seatbelts for your entire family. Just like in a car, a tractor is equipped with a seatbelt for safety. Additionally, a Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) on a tractor is in place to protect the driver.

Disclosure: I was given the opportunity to review Kubota’s Tractor Safety for Kids through the Family Review Network. I received one Kubota Kid’s Prize pack for review purposes only.
