With around a quarter of a million quad bikes in Australia, it’s unlikely they’ll all be replaced in the near future, despite being the biggest killer on Australian farms.

Instead, farmers are being urged to attend training courses, install roll-over protection and ensure the use of protective equipment such as helmets.

A recent report by the Primary Industries Health and Safety Partnership (PIHSP) found that quad bikes featured on the list for every land-based industry studied, which included grain, cotton, sugar and aquaculture .

Quad Safe Australia trainer Darrell Knight believes complacency and incorrect riding style are leading causes of quad bike injuries and deaths on farms.

“In my experience, rider error is the biggest contributor to incidents involving quad bikes in agriculture. They’re very easy to operate, and this can have its own drawbacks if people become over-confident, or don’t focus on the task at hand,” Mr Knight said.

“We don’t see many problems with the machines themselves, unless people aren’t following the manufacturers’ instructions and keeping them in good condition.

“Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for farmers with many years of experience riding quad bikes to never have heard the term ‘active riding style’. While more experience is usually a positive, the lack of awareness about active riding, coupled with complacent decision making can be a recipe for disaster.”

Mr Knight is an experienced quad bike race competitor, and says it’s vital for operators to consider the type of job being done, the terrain and other environmental conditions.

“Farmers in Australia are being injured and dying in less hazardous, less demanding and less technical environments than quad bike racers and this is frustrating,” he said.
“Learning the correct active riding style is one way to improve safety on a quad bike, and I believe all farmers should undertake pointed training and awareness courses, regardless of how long they’ve been using these machines.”

His tips on the safe operation of quad bikes include:
• always wear a helmet
• keep children younger than 16-years-old off adult sized machines
• ride responsibly
• make sensible choices about terrain and environmental conditions
• make sensible choices based on your ability and your machine.
Mr Knight believes there are many advantages of using a quad bike on-farm, as it is such a versatile piece of equipment.

“It is ideal for manual handling jobs, such as checking sprinkler rows, where the operator needs to get on and off regularly and it can fit between plantation rows,” he said.

“The quad bike is also extremely manoeuvrable for stock work, having a good turning circle to maintain animal control, good balance and an easy reverse option.

“Another thing often overlooked is its carrying capacity, allowing farmers to carry light tools and equipment across long distances.”

Karl Ward manages the Queensland avocado and Tahitian lime operations of Lake Shore Pty Ltd and is responsible for up to 10 regular staff and seasonal workers, many of whom operate quad bikes on the company’s properties.

He said quad bikes were used every day for irrigation checks and monitoring of 20,000 under-tree sprinklers due to the ATV’s convenience, size and manoeuvrability.

“Quads are the most efficient vehicle for these jobs and we have had no adverse incidents, despite the constant mounting and dismounting required for these tasks,” Mr Ward said.

“We find the quad bikes are actually more practical, as workers can jump on and off on either side of the machine without having to use a stand (such as for a two-wheel motorbike) and it’s better suited to the narrow rows on the fruit farm (compared to a ute or side-by-side vehicle).

“For us the visibility is better with a quad bike too, because you don’t have the body of the vehicle getting in the way.

“It would be very difficult without quads for us to do that job.”

Mr Ward, who recently completed a Quad Safe Australia training course, said his company’s policy was for workers to always use a helmet and follow basic riding safety practices.

Alright so today on Repairs101 I’m going to talk about the basic things you need to know about your chainsaw.
If you’re going to keep it inside, you are going to want to keep it in a container with a tight fitting lid to contain the smell.
Assembly is a snap if you have held onto all the parts. The main thing I see people doing wrong is putting the chain on backwards. So once you have that figured out slip the chain over the sprocket as you hang the bar. I am often asked how snug to torque the bar-mounting hardware. Because there is no torque value given in the owner’s manual all I can say is tight. Beware not to over-tighten.
Remember to grease the roller tip periodically. You will need one of these grease guns to do that.
To add tension to the chain the bar is pushed out by this dowel anchored in one of these holes in the bar. Turn the adjusting screw and tighten the chain until you can only pull out about three to five chain links. Tipping the saw forward when torquing the mounting nuts ensures that the bar will be pointed up.
Of course the best thing is a brand new chain straight out of the box but otherwise, you can put your saw in your vise so that the chain will run freely and then have a go at putting an edge on it with the rat tail file. Of course, there’s always power tools but all you really need is a flat file and a rat tail file.
Use the markings on your file guide to ensure you are getting the right angle. If you don’t have a file handle you can make one up in a jiffy, just so you don’t jab yourself with your file.
Measure a raker’s clearance using a straightedge from the tip of one tooth to the tip of the next tooth on the same side. The rakers provide a height or clearance for the chain’s teeth as well as pushing debris from the saw’s kerf.
Mix fuel for your saw according to the manufacture’s specifications. If you run too lean a mixture or straight gas, you will wear down the exhaust port side of the piston and the combustion chamber. The motor will run but it won’t make enough compression to do any work so when you go to cut something it will just stall.
Remember to fill up with chain oil every time you gas up your saw.
Wear any and all the protective equipment you can get your hands on – especially protective eyewear.
Only carry a saw in your right hand with the bar behind you.
Of course this is how you should start your chainsaw but if you are going to yo-yo start it, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.
Bucking is when the tip of the saw contacts something firm and the saw jumps back. If you are holding on with two hands, then the chain break will engage and you will be fine.
I see a lot of people trying to use their saw like this in a back and forth sawing motion. The grabs are there to dig into the wood and pivot the saw across and through the cut.
You know I take safety very seriously so inside my hard hat you’ll find I have duct taped a compression bandage for immediate access.
