Japanese scientists may have figured out the key to preventing tractor-tipping accidents—a leading cause of death for farmers around the world.
Their report, published in the journal Biosystems Engineering, sought to understand what causes a tractor to overturn and found the way the vehicles move before they tip is comparable to a bouncing ball.
Kenshi Sakai, an author of the study, explained in a press release that most farm tractors don’t have suspension systems, which causes violent vibrations with wheels often launching from the ground.
When a tractor’s front wheels leave the ground, it bounces. This can cause the back wheels to leave the road as well and cause overturning. Sakai says standard farm tractor models have not accounted for what he calls the “bouncing phenomenon.”
Researchers examined how a tractor would react to a number of bouncing scenarios through computer simulations with the same method used to understand how a ball departs and returns to a surface.
They noted that the bouncing became serious when tractors were on steep slopes. Sakai said that if the road has a slope of more than 18 degrees, the chance that the wheels will leave the road increases significantly.
Sakai said when manufacturers are making new tractor models, they’ll need to take this into consideration.
“Our proposed model could be a new paradigm in farm tractor modelling,” Sakai said in a press release.
He added that his team’s goal is to develop a farm tractor-driving simulator to recreate accidents and serve as an education tool to prevent fatal crashes.

The largest market for farmed eels is the Japanese kabayaki market. The Japanese consume more than 110,000t of eels each year but domestic production is only about 30,000t. The kabayaki markets prefer eels weighing 200g. Australian shortfin and longfin eels can be grown to this size in 12–18 months.All farmed eels are currently exported and markets as live product; however, as Australias multicultural population increases, opportunities may emerge for a small domestic market.Shortfin eelTh
Knowing you need to store your tractor is one thing. Knowing all the proper steps is another. Its important to take proper care when storing your farm equipment.

The tractor is a fundamental piece of equipment that has the strength to tackle agricultural, construction, and groundskeeping work, but they can’t accomplish much without the right implement. Even the most experienced tractor owners and operators might not know just how far and wide the selection of attachable tractor implements has grown over the years, allowing applications of a tractor’s power both niche and general. At Rivera’s Machinery, we want our customers to know about all the fan
