It would be a pretty thick book. An uncle that farmed for over 50 years was of the opinion that "all that stuff" was ready, willing and able to kill or maim any man that couldn't or wouldn't pay attention.

Lost track of all the close calls people that I know have had, me included. A cousin once got an arm caught in a round baler when the "door" started to slowly close on him when the cylinders leaked off while he was in under there tinkering with something.

Only reason he still has that arm is 'cause his oldest daughter walked out on the porch when she thought she heard someone yelling. In the time it took her to run several hundred yards to the field and throw the lever to lift the door, the baler had started to cut into his arm.

Another feller had his leg broken in several places when his Carharts got caught on the PTO that needed repaired on his 8N, (wouldn't go out of gear, he was un-attaching a three point grader blade at the time). He had it repaired while he recuperated, wished he would've had it done long before that.
