        Unfortunately it is not that unthinkable that such an accident could happen. What were all those adults thinking to allow that. Terrible.

          Mennonite kids used to take rides in the duals on the tractors and on top of the cultivators here. Then the challenge was to see how fast they could go. If one died, it was God's will.

              4 adults and 6 kids, all in the bucket. All fell out and went under tractor. So either he hit a pothole at a good clip or the tilt cylinders failed. I think it was 3 kids dead and 2 adults in critical condition.

                And none of the adults questioned this idea? I really feel for those kids.

                  We used to ride as kids in the bucket, or on the fender of an open station 4020, thought it was normal. I wont let my kids do that, fun I know but scares the hell out of me now.

                    People do the darndest things. Ten people in a front-end loader, that just sounds unbelievable.

                        Now we will require a $10,000 training/licensing program to drive a farm tractor down the highway... to solve this problem.

                            Seriously though Not to make light of this but too often stupid rules for the rest of us that aren’t stupid result from someone else s stupidity. As now that I hear what happenned this was stupid and maybe criminal.

                              Come on guys, when looking back there we're questionable and dangerous activities occurring on the farm while growing up? Now that we're older and wiser we shake our heads at ourselves, and won't even let of our kids think about trying the same stuns on the farm. Of coarse it was different times, but that didn't make it any less dangerous. It only takes a second for things to go terribly wrong.

                              This is just very tragic to the families and leave it at that and don't turn it into some foreseeable inconvenience for yourself.
