What should be checked regularly to ensure safe nighttime operation of tractors?

Regularly checking light functionality is essential for safe nighttime operation of tractors. Proper lighting is crucial for visibility, allowing the operator to see the area around the tractor and ensuring that others can see the tractor as well. This includes checking headlights, taillights, and any additional work lights that may be necessary for the tasks being performed. Inadequate lighting can significantly increase the risk of accidents, as it impairs the operator's ability to notice obstacles, other vehicles, or changes in terrain.

While fuel levels and brake fluid are important aspects of overall vehicle maintenance, they do not specifically address the challenges posed by nighttime operation. Seat comfort, although it affects operator fatigue and focus, is not a matter of safety in the context of nighttime visibility. Therefore, ensuring that all lights are in working condition directly contributes to safer operations during low-light conditions.
