NEWARK, Del. - One-pays
most for safety when one
tries to do without it, says.
Delaware Extension safety
specialist Ronald C. Jester.
An accountant or business
consultant can show what
lost workdays and con
sequent machine downtime
can do to the financial
balance sheet.
Last year the estimated
cost per Delaware farm
accident was approximately
$7OO, and that figure is rising
exponentially, according to
Jester. Accident costs must
take into account the value
of time lost, medical ex
penses, the hiring of
replacement labor, property
damage, and intangible
losses.
One fanner realized more
than the economics of safety
when he said, “I bought
rollover bars for my son’s
tractor... They are cheaper
than caskets.” .
It’s estimated that human
error causes 85 to 90 per cent
of all accidents. If human
error could be eliminated,

With farming operations
moving into high gear,
farmers must, recognize
their physical, physiological,
and psychological
limitations and capabilities.
Factors such as
carelessness, fatigue,
overload, preoccupation,
and incompatability bet

daily. The following
suggestions will help
eliminate many of the

Here's real all around performance in a tandem disc that’s suited to nearly
every job. Sturdy, semi-rigid frame of the MF 620 assures you of uniform
cutting depth whether you're slicing through tough stalks, knocking down
ridges, or preparing a seedbed. One lever adjusts both front and rear
gangs to match varied working conditions. Adjust one set of gangs, use the
same lever to adjust the second set. Spring-cushioned screw crank permits
easy balancing of front and rear gangs for deep discing or smoothing.
Eliminate ridging with lateral adjustment of rear gangs to match your
travel speed. Weight ranges from 215 to 295 ibs. per foot, depending on
size and type of blades to give you the kind of weight you need for deep,
uniform penetration. Heavy 4" x 4” gang frames add extra strength. At
taching points are reinforced for longer life, too. Double heavy-duty springs
on front and rear gangs on the MF 620 take the work out of lifting wings on
the 19’ and 23’ models for transport. They also assist in returning wings to
operating position, easily. MF exclusive single pin cam lock provides fast
and easy “no wrench” locking and unlocking of folding wings.
