Hi, Folks.
I've come late to this thread but I have to say that I reckon Nick's request is legitimate. The old spring loaded sliding pin is NOT the only PTO shaft lock on the market and one or two of the others are NOT the easiest to figure out. With regard to young operators, I started working on wheat farms when I was
15 1/2, driving tractors, ploughing , seeding, harrowing, crop-spraying, mowing, raking, baling, cart hay, harvesting, the works. Before that, I was operating a Cat 22 'dozer that my father had on the family dairy farm, unsupervised from age 12. My parents must have had a bit of confidence in my ability to handle it or I doubt I would have been allowed to do the work. Likewise, The farmer brothers that I worked for must have had some level of confidence in my ability to do the work or I doubt I would have lasted the 2 1/2 years that I was there or the next 2 1/2 years that I was in my next job where the farmer I was working for had a Cat D4 'dozer. I ended up doing ALL the work that that D4 did by the time I left that job to take up operating full time. One very helpful attribute in any kind of work but especially operating/driving is common sense. Another is the ability and willingness to think about what you are doing and the consequences of it. Living and working on farms tends to give some rather practical lessons about things like that. The people who learn those lesson that way seldom forget them. There aren't many better training grounds. Be gentle on those who have not had the benefit of that sort of training and help them where you can. You may HAVE the knowledge but you don't OWN it. It belongs to the Universe and the fortunate ones among us who have it ought to be sharing it with those less fortunate --- BEFORE they get into trouble if we can. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Today's Featured Article -
Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
