Like a Ford 8N tractor, and an old hay rake. The seat is on a hinge, and the farmers (men) always leave the seat up.Do men have some kind of primordial urge to leave seats up? Why did they even make the seats on a hinge? Probably designed by a man.Isn't this the most sexist thing you ever heard?
The hinge swings the seat forward so that the rear of the seat is facing skyward. Now, why do men do this? Because we're smart. Because we don't like that seat to be baked by the sun the next time we sit down on it. Because that keeps rain and dust from pooling on the seat and degrading the sitting area. And most of all, because we don't worry about the illogical opinions of silly stupid little feminists.
NO just to keep the seat clean from bird poop.
That is so if you fall off of it when operating it the seat will spring up and kill the engine. Even my lawnmower has that feature. No one wants to be run over by their own tractor. It has a seat but no engine? How does that work? Maybe it is to keep the seat from getting rained on or baked as others have suggested.
If this is going towards the toilet, i think tractors wasn't really the way to go. Why can't women leave the seat up for the men? You need the seat down....We need it up.....Deal with it lol.
it's to avoid collecting water and causing corrosion, same reason dump trucks often are left slightly lifted and wheel-barrows aren't left upright
