Daylight visibility of slow moving vehicle emblems is crucial. Ohio data from pre-SMV days show 708 accidents involve farm equipment with 75 percent on farm machinery, 90 percent in daylight on dry open roads, totaling over 1.3 million in damages.
National Safety Council data show 2400 agricultural deaths in 1970 with about 1000 from tractors and 600 from overturns. Protective cabs and frames could have saved roughly 90 percent of overturn fatalities, and belts enhance safety further. Cabs deter crush injuries, falls, and debris strikes while boosting comfort and productivity. A cabed tractor reduces fatigue and weather-related stopages, lowering health risks and improving long term farming viability.
The National Center for Health Statistics presents a yearly table of deaths from farm fires from 1950 through 1967. It notes that nonresident deaths are a small share, and totals from 1958 1989 and 1960 are not comparable due to reclassification. The span from 1961 onward uses a different definition of farm.
