The first tractor in this video certainly doesn't look to me to be safely operated when it takes off down the track with a crew member still spraying ether into it. I can't imagine this would be ok with the insurance company. Outlaw Pulling - Concord, NE - Diesel Super Stock

Been done many times over the years. If it was an issue it would have been handled on the spot

Seems like a couple onboard ether injectors would be better than a DQ or a run over crew member

If the green flag was presented with a crew member still on the track the flagger should be relieved of his duties.

We will be coming up with a new crew member deflector shield to go in front of the tires. It will safely remove the ether person from the path of the tire.

Will the deere's be allowed an extra 50 pounds for their shields? If the shield is mounted just in front of the front tire that is 18" behind the furthest most point and they will probably lose 1400-1500 pounds of front end weight from it being that far back.

I noticed no one has said anything about his visor being up. That is a big pet peeve of mine on safety.

Can I run a plow from an IH on a John Deere?

Re: On track safety issues November 08, 2018 11:00AM
I don't know about that, however I've pulled some John Deere plows with International and Cockshutt tractors.One time it wasn't very safe though, because my Father plowed out a yellow jacket nest in front of me and I got stung 13 times! If I would have had my full fire suit and visor down on my helmet I would have walked away unscathed!
