Massey Boy Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Seen these on the steps of a tractor on a farm we visited, asked the boss what they was and he told me straight away but he had only seen it once before. So dose any one on here know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 thats wierd, ive never seen that before and id almost say it was slightly dangerous. if you were working in icy or muddy conditions and you went to go into or out of the tractor youd get no grip and could slip and badly hurt yourself. honestly dnt know why they might have done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'd say it is indeed to let the dog in. I know the ol' beast here always had trouble climbing on the saturated normal stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'd also say to allow a dog to climb the steps without the risk of its feet going through the slats in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Oh brilliant - take care the dog (which shouldn't be in the cab in the first place) doesn't get injured, but don't give a monkeys about the driver slipping and breaking his neck!!! Serious H&S infringement which would certainly get pointed out during an HSE inspection, and may well have negative implications for employers liability insurance too - the cab steps have a safety function in the grips incorporated in the design and removing this by covering them up is actionable.

How'd you know it's not a girl driving? Also what law is it that says NO DOGS IN CABS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Also what law is it that says NO DOGS IN CABS? I don't know, but I bet there is a law plod could throw at you - the dog must be suitably restrained in a vehicle or that it mustn't distract the driver when driving or injure the dog or driver if the vehicle stops or turns quickly. Put it this way, when was the last time you saw a police dog handler have his pooch sitting on the front passenger seat and not put in the caged bit in the back of the car/van? /malcy_highway-code_p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
