Why is it so entertaining watching someone struggle with a pto. Thank you Millenial Farmer.

While iwas laughing at him tryna get it attached. That was like half an hour last Saturday for me 😅 i aint even a farmer, im a mechanic, was 3 degrees and just didnt have enough ass to pull and push at the same time 😅😂 why not make it so the ring that releases the lock to be pushed instead of having to push and pull and fight yourself. Just grab the release ring and push..."but what about getting it off" make it release in both directions and defaults to lock position.

Afternoon Zach. My name's Michael and for the longest time I've been interested in agriculture and specifically farm equipment. Your channel has given plenty of enjoyment and exposure to many aspects of agriculture many people aren't aware of. Most of all I wanted to thank you for inspiring me and would like to report I'm now an intern at my local John Deere dealer (Everglades equipment, you've been here before). It's been an amazing experience and I'd like to thank you again for feeding that fire in me. God bless, stay between the rows.

Just a little advice from a 25 yr veteran of the road … I don’t ever set my trailer brakes unless I have to, specially in the winter because I personally don’t want to be pounding on drums at -20 because they froze up. I realize it’s in your heated shop but it’s really not necessary unless you are dropping your trailer or getting unloaded.

Suggesting you cut holes on opposite sides of the pto plastic bell safety guard for your thumbs. That way both hands can pull retainer and push pto on at the same time. The holes also make greasing the u- joint easy. And please, don’t grease the pto slide tubes. Only lube it with a spray like JB 80 or something. Grease gets too gummy for slides in cold climates. Who knows, maybe next time that pto may fall on!
