      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.

      @@wileycoyotesr8623 mistakes happen all the time on a farm. Most people just choose to edit to out. 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.

You could have skipped that part but you are very upfront and show everything... One of the main readsons I really like your videos... Looking forward to the repairs....

  • @kingkong7617
    @kingkong7617 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    That was dangerous putting that hitch pin in without a clip to hold it in place and it will ride up and out and that will cost you now in parts and labor and you were lucky to not be hit by something. The old saying, "a ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" surely applies here and I am glad you were not injured.

  • @hollandduck79

    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

    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 ปีที่แล้ว +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
