Question 1089 in the bank

Why is it required to install a safety frame in a tractor?

  1. To protect operator from high falling objects.
  2. To protect operator during a collision accident.
  3. Correct answer: To protect the operator./driver in the event that the tractor rolls over.
  4. To protect operator while working between trees and branches.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: To protect the operator./driver in the event that the tractor rolls over.

The safety frame is meant to protect the operator when the tractor rolls over. A tractor has a high centre of gravity, so when working on slopes or uneven ground it can roll over. The frame creates a protected space around the operator's seat and keeps the tractor from crushing the operator. It is not meant to protect from rain, branches or a collision.
