Equipment free to farming industry Deere and Company has announced that in the interest of farm safe- ty, it will make available at no cost to the farm equipment industry its patents for a transmis- sion device that reduces the risks of tractor accidents. The special transmis- sion valve, which was developed at the John Deere Product Engineer- ing Centre in Waterloo, Iowa, prevents hydraulically activated transmission clutches from engaging unless the clutch pedal has been depressed and released by the operator following each start. Operators have been injured when they im- properly started their tractors by bypassing normal circuitry while standing on the ground. It is a practice that manufacturers have urg- ed farmers not to use and have tried to discourage through other design changes. The danger in such a start, of course, is that the tractor will move if the transmission is in gear. With the Deere safety device in the clutch hydraulic circuit, the machine won't go in- to motion following a start even when it is in gear, at least not until the operator mounts the machine and depresses and releases the clutch pedal. Currently, Deere has the safety feature on its four-wheel drive tractors and 50 Series row crop tractors, with Quad- Range transmission, and within the next few months it will be install- ed on all 50 Series row crop tractors. This action by Deere marks the fourth time the company made its safety patents available to the entire industry at no cost. In 1971, Deere released its patented rollover protection struc- ture, and four years later it gave the industry its patented method for covering power take-off shafts to reduce ex- posure and thus injuries. In 1982, Deere released its patent for a tip-up shield on the tractor which reduces the necessity of removing the shield to accom- modate large power take-off connections. de le lh L6fLL 193 QUEEN ST PORT PERRY (416: 98S 7306 ALL LINES OF GENERAL INSURANCE VICTORIA VG AND GREY TRUST Since A 124 5 Yr.
