I'm a survivor of a PTO incident. I was unloading corn silage with a fairly new front unloading silage wagon and went to stand on the tongue of the wagon to observe the beaters in action.I stepped up on the tongue near the gear box and next I picked myself up from the ground minus a the left leg of my pants and my left foot sock. I had blood running down my left leg from my knee to the top of my work shoe. I was dazed and in shock and layed there for some time until my senses returned and I was able to stagger to the house and yell for my wife for help.Long story short:: When the asssembler at the dealership attached the PTO shaft to the gear box he never drove the roll pin in flush but left about 1/4" of the roll pin sticking out and this is what caught my pants leg. My left leg from knee down was almost skinless from the rubbing the pto guard did to it. Took a long time to heal and even now,40 years later it carries scars. Point is be careful and make sure any litle or large trap to your health that is evident is rendered safe and stay out of harms way.
