Very true. My brother in law just got in a serious accident. Lucky for him, all he did was shatter his knee and bruise his ribs. He would have died if someone wouldn't have saw it. He actually started on fire from all the friction of his clothes on the shaft.
@davidwalford its an example of what happens with loose fitting overalls. Or having twine hanging out of your pocket after opening bales . Easy knowing you know fuck all about tractor safety
Wow! This video really made me think about how dangerous this could be. I was thinking about learning how to hook up the PTO to the mower on my daddy's tractor (he passed away last year), but I will just hire somone to mow my pastures.
@glamourcowgirl68 Get someone who knows how to show you. Switch off the engine before you hook it up and make sure the pin is out to the full when you put it on. Ensure the guard is not broken, and the tractor and mower have a "U" guard fitted. Wear tight fitting clothes and good footwear. As long as you keep the engine switched off when you're on the ground it's safe. PTO shafts are dangerous. People make them deadly. Only try it yourself if you know what you're doing, and are over 18.
@NeedleInTheGroove1 The only thing is that an older person will understand fully the consequences of an accident while a younger person is more likely to think "that won't happen to me!". Working on heavy machinery is no place for children - making me a hypocrite since I've been driving tractors since I was 10...
A farmer in Minnesota was taking corn out of a bin and loading it into a semi truck. He slipped due to the snow and ice and became entangled in a power take-off driveshaft on 1-25-11. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Even when you think everything is safe, accidents still happen. Don't think it won't happen to you. Please use extra caution and common sense around farm equipment.
J'ai eu cet accident aussi j'ai eu 5 côtes brisées et détachées de ma colone vertébrale le sternum défoncé l'épaule gauche à moitié arrachée 4 hernies discales
un nerf crânien pincé de ce fait perdu 15 décibels à l'oreille gauche et souffre depuis d'accouphène et une déchirure musculaire au niveau de l'abdomène... mais je suis toujours vivant et je suis sur le point de retourner travailler après trois ans et demi !!! crisse d'accident croyez moi !!!
Happened to me once when I was a teenager. I was lucky. PTO shaft tore my bluejeans off of me and I was bruised and cut, but nothing broken. Hard lesson.
Heavy Duty video. Really makes you think. Also, you don't have to be a farmer to own a tractor and implements. Farmers use this stuff every day, its the every day "Joe" that don't operate equipment all of the time that REALLY gets the point from watching this.
Straw man or 200kg man cannot beat a damaged PTO shaft. Farm workers need to check PTO shafts before starting work - they are as much responsible and liable as the owner of the equipment.
