How to buy a good used farm tractor. Great Information, tips and money saving advice! Buyer Beware!

What happens here

Before starting the tractor, safely prepare it by positioning ramps for unloading from a trailer if applicable. Once the ramps are in place, get on the tractor and ensure you are seated in the operator's seat. It is critical for safety to always be seated on the tractor when starting it, as starting it while standing between the wheels can lead to severe injury or death if it unexpectedly moves. Then, start the tractor from the seated position.

Goal: Safely move the tractor and initiate startup from the operator's seat
