Three safety start mechanisms used on modern tractors to prevent starting the tractor improperly include:
ROPS, seat belts, and PTO stub guards
neutral start switch, starter bypass covers, seat safety switch
PTO shields, hydraulic power, electrical connections
user ID, password, seat switch
What must you do to the tractor engine before engaging the PTO to operate an implement?
slow down the RPMs
speed up the RPMs
maintain idle speed
RPMs do not affect PTO operation
A tractor has one seat for the operator. Passengers should:
stand on the drawbar
hold onto the fenders
sit on the axle
never be allowed to ride on the tractor
Pushing one brake on a tractor while operating at a high speed can cause the tractor to:
stop immediately
rollover backward
stall
rollover sideways
Only start the tractor engine from:
the ground
the operator's seat
standing on the platform
standing on the steps
To steer a tractor and implement safety, you need to know which of the following:
width and power of the tractor
only the width of the implement
width and length of the tractor and the implement
all of the above
Controls that engage mechanisms using the tractor as a remote power source are color-coded:

red
orange
black

will do.
True
False
True or False? It is OK to operate an engine with low oil pressure or oil levels.
True
False
True or False? Push-pull fuel switches must remain in the stop position when turned off.
