"Blue-collar" worker here. safety is the first trade we learn in school and the first job we start at every site. Your real uphill battle with this thing isnt going to be safety, its repair. Can I fix it with a stick welder and parts from a Tractor Supply? If not, its just another John Deere money machine.

If you REALLY want farmers to use it, make it OPEN SOURCE.

Doesn't have to be open source, just needs to be repairable on site, not in a week's time when someone comes out to it. In that time someone has to risk their life to do the job it should be doing.

Clearly not true. The safest thing you can do on a worksite is leave. But people still work there.
