Some of you guys have never run some of the equipment that is on a farm from some of the rules you claim to obey. I would never would have got feed ground 40 years ago, if I had to leave the PTO off, when I got off the tractor. Since I had to open the slide to the bin for the corn and oats to run into it. I would never have blown any hay into the barn over the lase 50 years either. Since I had to run the self unloading wagon clutch on the side of the wagon from the tractor seat.
I suppose you never tramped a plow to get the trash to go through it while moving either. It would be awful cold setting on the tractor while the auger ran empty from the bin since I would not be able to open the slide over the auger in the bin by these rules. Now Yes there are times when you just have to consider the rules and the practicality to them. I have probably violated most of the ones you guys all think are so sacred though this is where the common sense comes in. If you are going to get off the tractor while PTO is on A front dismount tractor away from the PTO would be a much safer option to use if you have it. We used to use the buzz saw with no guard on it back when I was a kid and never got hurt. I guess this is why I tend to not heed some of the safety ideas that are on most lists or guards. I still have 10 working fingers and all toes with both hands and feet. Though by some I am probably considered lucky.
So I guess I don't have much for rules or safety deals around equipment and more rely on common sense. If you stick your hand in the fan expect to have any part of it cut off. There are some things I do require when machinery is going to be in motion and that is you can be seen by the operator. Backing is one of the big things I complain about for being out of site. My wife and I use our phones to talk when backing into sheds up to augers and other things like that you can hear them and they can be seen. You can't hear most things within the cab on some of the newer ones. Just to quite. Backing trucks by mirror into buildings is like looking into a black hole during the day so guides need to be where they can be seen out in front. You can see wheter it will clear to get started in and while coming back till it gets close then stop or add a person that can be seen by the first guide or by the driver till it gets back to the position it needs to be. Yup takes more people but prevents some of the other problems that can cost lots of money not to mention people getting hurt.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny ... [Read Article]
