I am a jack of all trades and perhaps master of none. I then tackled a buckrake to a Fordson Major, picked up cocks of hay and later brought in bales with a trailer. I thank my lucky stars and the man above - I had a great guardian angel - when I think of some near misses that I had in my youth. Thankfully, we were not as concerned then with health and safety as is the case now. I lost a friend last year, a poor man from Firies, who was pinned overnight by his tractor and was not discovered until the following day. Is there any way we could mandatorily immobilise tractors in order that as soon as a person steps off it, the throttle would go off? Am I correct in saying that many of the accidents in the past year in particular occurred with tractors and moving machinery? Has the matter been examined?
