 Farming is considered to be the most dangerous occupation that we have in the state of North Dakota and the big reason for that is is that there's an awful lot of moving parts. We deal with very heavy equipment and we deal with a variety of pieces of equipment when working on the farm. One of the areas that we see a lot of accidents even now is from PTO shafts that are not properly operating the way that they should be. A PTO is basically a solid shaft that attaches from the back of the tractor to an implement that serves as a power source to make all the belts and chains and moving parts on whatever piece of equipment function. That PTO shaft usually is about eight inches above the drawbar of the tractor and it again extends from the back of the tractor to that implement. There should be a shield that surrounds that PTO shaft itself that needs to be moving freely to prevent accidents. We run very large equipment and many of our tractors are going to be 80, 150, 300 horsepower strong and one of the things that we use as a demonstration is we're going to use this half horse drill and talk about how fast accidents can happen. Basically if you get a shirt or something caught in a PTO it can happen really fast and again that PTO shaft stays about eight inches above a drawbar. Now let's imagine that you're inside of this PTO shaft and you get a piece of clothing, your hair, a shoelace or something stuck in there. We're going to turn this on and basically what happens is that is rotating so fast it's about seven revolutions per second and now if you're in that shirt we have to start asking ourselves what is the possibility of surviving an accident like this. Now the PTO is part of that. We also talk about pinch points that can happen as we raise loaders on tractors. These cylinders come down and we get people that get trapped underneath and we're riding with people on the buckets of tractors and and the operator basically makes a slight move that moves the bucket too fast. Various things like that are sometimes I guess we do those types of things on farms just to help make a task easier but remember these are very powerful machines whether it's chains that are running on balers or belts that are turning. We want to make sure that anytime you're operating farm equipment and you go back and you start working on the piece of equipment that you have that you shut the PTO off. That you know that there's nobody inside of the tractor that could potentially turn that on and basically cause serious if not permanent damage to the person working on that baler or whatever piece of equipment that you have. Understand safety is a priority one when we're operating farm equipment and that we ask you to think before you make any decisions on operating farm equipment.
