    Tractor must have full time PTO in order to drive the hydraulics pump for loader? He was very lucky :bug:

    Wow! That is lucky.

    With that title I though we were going to have a video of a tannerite demo.

    So fortunate that bruising is all. That could have been so much worse.....

    Yes, just ask Casper
    I was thinking chainsaw related, or old rusty nail carnage...

    Did you see the tannerite vid of the fridge door flying past the guy by just a little? It’s an oldie but a goodie.

    What about the one the guy loaded a riding mower up with tannerite, and it took his leg out.

    No firewood trees to drop on the shed?? If I'm talking about demolishing a shed, it proably involves a tree. LOL

    I have very healthy respect for those PTOs. A friends grandpa was lucky to get away alive some years ago. Permanent limp afterwards. Very lucky his leg was not completely torn off.

    Rotating shafts are no joke. I saw a video where a guy got caught in a lathe and was instantly burger. The only thing that indicated it was human was two eye balls. Horrible stuff. That pto needs fixed yesterday and the guy should not have been near it.
