On the other hand...if your tractor did NOT have a ROPS, or if you have a foldable ROPS in the folded position, you are warned to NOT wear a seatbelt, because in a rollover you will be trapped in the seat and crushed.

Wearing a seatbelt is the operator's choice. I know of at least two people who refuse to wear one because they've been in accidents and even the paramedics had to admit they'd have most likely been killed if they were buckled in. Statistics for/against typically only look at how many people SURVIVED an accident with or without a seat belt and don't speculate about how many people likely died because they were or were not wearing one.

It's your life, make your own choice about what you feel is right.
