Add-On Safety Seat Lets Kids Ride On Back
 ✖  |
Terry Martin of Shelby, Ohio, found a way to babysit his kids while mowing his yard. They love to ride so Terry made a double safety seat with seat belts. He used square tubing to make a rectangular frame for the seats and slips it into a receiver hitch that he mounted on back of the tractor. To remove the add-on seats, he just pulls a pin.
"I use it on my Deere L120 garden tractor. I came up with the idea because I love spending time with my kids and they like to ride with me on the tractor."
Martin has a patent and would like to develop the idea. "Everyone I talk to says it's a good idea. I've built a few add-on seats for friends and family members, who have mounted them on a variety of different tractor brands. They love them. I've spoken to my attorney and other patent attorneys who say I can market this as an aftermarket accessory to garden tractors, but that first I need liability insurance. I got one quote from an insurance company for $125,000 per year."
Martin says he'd like to know what FARM SHOW readers think of his idea.
