John Deere 5065E Mowing Tall Pastures with a Woods Cutter #farming

What happens here

Sitting on his John Deere 5065E tractor, he advises against flying a drone while actively operating the tractor, stating it's not smart. He plans to program his drone to follow him automatically. He then gives a crucial safety warning: 'Never, ever start your tractor unless your butt is in this seat,' explaining from his experience as an ICU nurse the severe injuries that can result from starting a tractor while standing outside of it. He starts the tractor to let it warm up to optimal temperature.

Goal: Before starting to mow, the farmer briefly discusses tractor safety and prepares his drone for autonomous tracking.
