      He's far too careless. His middle name is, Shoulda. One of these days it will catch up with him. A Clevis pin should be chained to the long pin as a reminder TO USE IT. My 11 year old has more sense than Evan.

You need to remember that evan has no farming experience this is only the second or maybe third year of balding hay for him . I think he learned his lesson. Most people now a days that have a farm where raised on it .they had their father to give them information on what not to do as they grew up . He didn't.

    Hello Evan glad you were not hurt. I wonder why your pto shaft did not pull apart, looks like it is destroyed also. This is a good lesson that many can learn from and I don't think that your to blame either. When I was a kid we never used them and I have seen the clips come out. The proper pin that is heavy works the best. See you then have a good day.

    • @python3574
      @python3574 Před rokem +1

      When the tedder flew up in the air it bound up the joint enough to blow up the u-joint and yoke, so it likely bent the pto shaft before it extended far enough to pull out

    hello from the Netherlands .
    you HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY NOW .
    in the video you can also see that the pto rod was dancing back and forth when it came loose from the tedder and that at one point it got stuck under the lift arm that also brought you good luck because i think that by still being propelled that one could also have hit very easily and hit you .
    maybe even more than the tedder because you still drove away from it.
    but if you had slowed down the tedder would surely have hit you.
    my tip :
    attach a chain to the hitch pin with a closing clip,
    so you always have a closing clip with the pin, and you will not lose any closing clips anymore.
    and leave a Hitch pin with a closing clip attached to each tractor,
    so you never have to look for a pin and clip again because it is with the tractor.
    thanks for the video again . Sincerely, Hollandduck

We always cut red clover hay that was frost seeded into winter wheat so we didn’t want to shatter it. It’s divine intervention to even be able to get a hay crop without it being rained on, and further yet to not be hurt in an accident like this.

    Well those of us who are watching this video Evan are definitely saying prayers for you and those of us who I’ve watched it a couple of times are thinking, what a miracle he won’t hurt. Every one of us in life have taken shortcuts what is the pressure needed about some little thing we didn’t wanna go into because we wanna hurry up and just get a job done and everyone of us have regretted taking a shortcut and we’ve all come very close to losing a life. We definitely do not repeat that mistake again and I think the Lord above there’s an angel tapping us on the shoulder and reminding us shortcut never EVER pay off!!!
    If your local tractor supply store can’t supply you with the pins you need I’m sure the Internet can get you a dozen of them so you never have to have this situation happen again! I’m not one for reading comments but I ran about 12 or 15 of them and it obviously happened to enough people enough times, You had better get a dozen pins!!
    Say a prayer gratitude to the Lord above tonight & keep Rebecca extra close by too💕💕🌸

    You probably won’t ever do this but if you should ever plow with your D17 and an original Allis snap coupler mounted plow it’s vitally important the snap bell hook under the tractor is in good shape and hooked in well into the snap coupler ring on the front of the plow. It has happened where that comes unhooked and buried itself in the ground which causes the plow to swing up and forward and land on top of the tractor driver.
