While we're talking about danger: I see posts especially on YouTube showing tractors hooked to machines thru the PTO. Sometimes they don't look shielded (hard to tell in the videos). Used to be people who were killed when their clothes caught in the PTO shaft. Imagine what would happen. And, I had an uncle, always in a hurry, who cleaned out a clogged corn picker while the thing was still running. He spent quite a few years with two or three fingers missing on his right hand. Driving our old iron in a parade is one thing, but there are several dangers when the old boys are really in use. No cab, no roll bars, not much thought given to safety "back then." I've even heard of disk harrows getting caught on the rear wheels and flying up in a short turn. Don't know if that one's true. I treat tractors like I treat my table saw. Great tool, waiting to bite me if I'm not careful.
