This Alberta Safe Tractor Operation and Hitching Guide (the Guide) is primarily written to introduce Alberta youth to the operation of tractors for agricultural purposes. It will also be useful for other new tractor operators providing they understand that it is focused on educating youth. The Guide does not provide enough information to fully train or authorize anyone to be a competent tractor operator. Resources such as Tractor and Implement Operator’s Manuals, the training, supervision, and oversight of a competent person, and any applicable regulations would be useful. Also, formal tractor training following applicable standards that includes actual hands-on operation, oversight, and supervision by a competent person would be necessary.
