[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4045560, member: 5412"] Can you fill us in with the details on how he got killed? Some I talk to remove every safety item on the PTO drive shafts as soon as they get them. They do get in the way sometimes but another buddy with only one arm, had a thread on his jacket get hooked on the drive shaft and pulled him in to rip his arm off at the shoulder tells me the guards are there for a reason. Personally, when hooking up the PTO shaft, the tractor is turned off and the pto is put in neutral. Don't get near that thing when the tractor is running. I don't want to experience the horror of that happening like my friend. I've met another farmer with one arm that tried to unjam a square bailer. When he cleared the jam, the wire caught him and tore the arm off. PTO still on. Speaking of danger, a farmer was disking a field in Grant County a couple years ago when for whatever reason he fell out of the cab of the tractor. The tandem disk behind chewed him up pretty good after the tractor tire ran over him. Farming is one of the most dangerous occupations out there. [/QUOTE]
