Good point on the seatbelt, but they're of little help without a ROPS. I put a ROPS on my older 1971 deere and wear a belt. When you live in a state like WV I think its a must, nothing is flat. Having 2 tractors is really nice because I have a backhoe on my primary worker that never comes off. Having another to mow and work the ground saves me a lot of time. Here is a sample of some of the slopes I mow.
