[AT] Hydraulic hoses & Safety Practices.

[Cecil Bearden]

This makes me think of another practice that really just gets me.  We 
have folks driving tractors around here that always have the loader 
bucket raised fully while mowing, raking, or going down the road.
   I learned 4 things as a kid.  Keep the bucket a foot off the ground, 
(lower and you can go over the front on rough ground).  Check the 
gearshift for neutral before you ever touch the key.  Leave the tractor 
in gear or park. ( did not lock brakes because they used to freeze to 
the drums) And Lower all implements to the ground.  This was because we 
had livestock and they were always rubbing on the equipment.

To this day, it still happens around here..
