I have just read the messages about pto shaft guards and the one about machines starting on their own. We are having problems with electronic controls here when they are interfered with by outside sources of energy.

Ploughs being lifted when CB mikes are keyed on most makes of tractor with electronic lifts. Implements with electronic controls going haywire when mobile phones are used, and a French made 6 row beet harvester that had been left with its engine running whilst its idiot (sorry driver) climbed inside to grease it, started when his mate made a phone call. As electronics usage increase in agriculture this could become the next killer.

Its no good shouting "Whoa" when a machine has got you by the throat. They do not care and they can't hear.

PS Here in the "European Union" we have a Law that states that no "electronic equipment shall not interfere with any other piece of electronic equipment by means of emmissions or itself be affected by such emmissions from outside sources". Few people seem to abide by this law. Certainly not the big machinery manufacturers.

Brian: Would agree completely. Electronics work very well when new but when a unit has been operated for 10 years and things start to go wrong, I would suggest that not only will safety be a very important issue, but also the sheer expense of maintaining these systems. When these units sit in the off seasons and a bunch of mice find a comfy spot to bed down and start chewing, look out. Looking at tractors where everything is electronic and all you can do for maintenance is blow up the tires, I would be mightily tempted to look high and low for machinery that does not use electronics. The only tractor I am familiar with in this regard is a Landini. Works well and fixable. I shudder when I look at the like of a John Deere.
