New tractor

[flying belgian]

There are 29 pages of safety instructions
in the owners manual of my new JD 5067e
tractor. So I will be offline for the
rest of the day reading how to safely
operate my tractor.

I'm sure Deere's lawyers will appreciate that. LOL

We all realize of course that John Deere is just responding to things that have happened in the marketplace and liability claims courts over the years. Still, that's a lot of reading (if you actually do it).

While your reading all that,,can I take your trike out for a ride?

 

[oldsarge]

I'd say they'd like it better if you didn't read it so they could say you contravened their instructions and therefore your claim is denied !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't skip the part about not drinking the battery acid.

My wife has an 11 Ford Fiesta,and the manual has 27 pages devoted on how to operate the radio.The remaining 68 pages seem to be devoted to telling you to take the car to the dealer.By contrast the owners manual for my 1961 Mack B61 tells you how to overhaul the engine.

That's funny. Makes me love my older Deere. '63 3010D. No 10 page article telling me the importance of wearing the seatbelt it doesn't have =).

I was complaining about stupid laws one time and was reminded that for every stupid law there was a stupid person that actually did that.

(quoted from post at 10:44:53 04/18/23) I was complaining about stupid laws one time and was reminded that for every stupid law there was a stupid person that actually did that.

Most likely more than one person.

Perfect point !

And the rest of the pages probably tell you to contact your local dealer.
