As the owner of no tractor newer than 1990 I am confused (happens easily) what does new or old equipment have to do with people being hurt or injured by PTO shafts or other non shielded equipment? On the new stuff does the PTO stop with no operator sitting in the seat? would make for a real handy auger or feed grinder tractor.

This is the place! Bought
