This checklist can also serve as a resource when training new employees. Increasing your levels of knowledge and skill in tractor operation can help you to: work safely and avoid accidents, teach others about safe tractor operation, develop good habits when working with or near farm equipment, or gain employment in a successful farming operation.https://extension.umaine.edu/publications/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2017/06/tractor-corn-woman-farmer.jpg
