A Farm Safety Council of Ontario survey across 200 farms shows 40 percent of tractor master shields missing and 20 percent of power take-off shields absent or ineffective. Many farms still use older machines with inadequate brakes and steering, increasing accident risk. Farmers are urged to apply safety rules with new machinery and maintain older gear. Tractors are not designed for highway use. if on roads, keep children away. Children are often harmed where machinery and home life mix.
