They have weight sensors for tractor seats?

That is awesome. My wife’s uncle was run over and killed by his own tractor, in Wise County, TX.

That technology would have prevented his death.

Sadly, those accidents still happen because people disconnect the seat safety. I was almost victim when I rolled a small tractor with a mower. The mower almost got me when the tractor did not shut off. Fortunately, something hit the PTO switch and cut the mower before it got me. Such accidents also happen when operators fall asleep and fall off the tractor.

Sorry about your wife’s uncle. I have known a few too and those stories always hit me hard.
