N2  - Tractor overturns are a major cause of death in farm operations. The overturns are the result of interactions between the tractor operator, the tractor and the environment. Numerous variables involved in tractor overturn have been identified. Previous stability analyses have resulted in attempts to design devices to warn or prevent tractor rollover but to date nothing has proved successful. A newer approach to the rollover problem is to develop instrumentation that will give the operator instantaneous cues concerning the tractor's stability as it is operated. The device is perceived as a learning instrument which will increase both cognitive and motor skills.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
