I have seen many of the demonstrations that are provided on farms advising people to be exceptionally careful near power take-off, PTO, shafts and bigger equipment and machinery that can cause tragic deaths. There is a constant stream of warnings and calls to people to be exceptionally careful when working with farm machinery in any location. More inspections and contact with farmers by the authorities is part and parcel of this. Unfortunately, lives are lost every year in accidents involving machinery, PTOs, and tractors that one might think would never happen.
