safety

Snow finally gone, at least where the grass is and I'm getting the brush hog ready for the field. The safety chains that prevent debris from coming out unchecked is missing quite a few links. I figured before I replace I'll ask my question... Has anyone replaced the chain guard with anything...

A couple years ago, I was backing my zero turn mower into its parking space under the barn overhang when I felt heat on my back. I turned around to flames shooting up from the motor. Luckily, I was 8 feet from a fire extinguisher. A rodent (?) had chewed into the gas line, and fuel had been...

I have cylinder stops (these; same function as u-channel designs of varying polish), which I bought for when I needed to be working under the arms. I need to use my forks to hold a work platform. I can tie in, so with the FEL arms safe, the "worst" that could happen is a complete hydraulic...

I'm looking at a tar river spreader. Seems dangerous to me to have the actuator so close to a spinning shaft. Other spreaders seems to have double the clearance or more. Am I missing something?

In my area most farmers don't use them saying "i don't have anything to do close to the PTO while it spinning" or "if my ass is not in the sit, the PTO is not engaged". What says you, the ppl i trust? PS: The item in question is this

Can anyone tell me how to bypass the safety devices so you can get off without it dying? It's not just unplugging the seat switch. I did that and you couldn't manipulate the parking brake or pull in the steering arms without it dying. I just want to be able to jump off real quick, move a branch...

Can anyone identify the plug I need to tap into the power that would normally go to the rear safety lights? This jack is on both sides just under the top of the cab. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to remove the TC30 controller? I can't seem to remove it, seems stuck. Thanks.

Just got back from my friendly local Ford dealer. Two years ago, this dealer installed a replacement catalytic converter on my truck after the original was stolen. Today, I took this truck to the same dealer for a motor vehicle safety inspection (required in my state to renew the license)...

Had dozens of pairs of various brands over the years, wondering if anyone owns or makes a decent pair at a fair price, that are somewhat scratch resistant? Parameters would be scratch resistance, look ok for everyday use, meet ansi requirements, maybe polarized in my pipe dream world floating...

I just acquired a 335 and one odd thing I discovered is that when you hit the reverse pedal, the pto shuts off. Was told this is a safety feature. I have never known this before but I am certainly looking for a way to change this feature as I mow in reverse sometimes. Any advice appreciated.

I bought a new MX5400 in '22, and I am almost ready to completely disable the seat safety switch. It entirely too sensitive, and and just about any change in position on the seat will shut the tractor down. I'm 170lbs, and its aggravating trying to run/watch any implement behind you without...

Not just gloves, hard hat, eye/ear protection, chaps, steel toed boots with ballistic nylon tongues. What first aid do you carry, while hoping that you never need it? I have a blood clot sponge and a military tourniquet, all in the pocket of my chaps. I'm thinking about moving them to...

I'm going to start off with yep I did a dumb thing and now I may need my tractor to get me out of a jam. So I was moving my RV around with my truck (2015 GMC Sierra) in my yard to get it to its new resting home and out of the low spot. It had rained several days earlier but I believed the ground...

Good Morning! I will have to do some major home improvement projects, most notably re-staining/sealing our log home, and I don’t want to do it on a ladder. A scaffold (or two) would make for a much easier and safer job. I have never used scaffolding before. -EDIT/UPDATE: Terrain and deck...

In case anyone takes life for granted when standing near a spinning PTO shaft - here's what can happen when a #8 grade bolt for PTO clutch is no match for PTO engagement at 2000 RPM's (that was my fault - had just turned PTO off and saw I had missed a spot so turned it right back on before...
