WHERE DID THE LITTLE CHAIN GO???

Had a viewer question from Justin. He just bought a new tractor with a rotary cutter and he didn't receive a chain to hold the PTO shield stationery when the power take off was engaged. The salesman told him that PTO driven implements didn't come with chains anymore. He wanted to know if the salesman was "yanking his chain." I wondered the same thing in 2014, my last year in the dealership world. We delivered a cutter and the customer called and asked where his chain was. I noticed that a large number of the PTO's on the lot no longer had a chain clipped to them. Without the chain the PTO safety shield spins with the shaft inside when engaged. With the chain attached to the tractor, everything inside is spinning, the outside stays put. Many times, a change in the farm equipment world comes from one of two reasons...liability or cost. I suspect there's a combination of both factors going on here. If you've ever seen a PTO engaged that had a chain on the shield that wasn't attached to a fixed part of the tractor, you can see the liability issue. The chain will spin wildly with the PTO, and if it came off and hit someone it would be bad. I'm sure the legal departments at the rotary cutter manufacturers would much prefer that the chains never went out with the machines and the threat of lawsuits from flying chain injury would go away. Having said that, doing an informal survey of a dealer's lot, it looks like the premium, deluxe machines tend to have the chains, the value-priced, bargain units don't have them. Pretty much all of the machines used by farmers, disc mowers, balers, mower conditioners, etc. do have the chains. So the lack of a chain may be more related to trying to shave a couple of bucks off the cost of the machine than it is the safety aspect. If any manufacturers are watching my channel and know an answer to this burning question, I'd be glad to let them explain it on video. Inquiring minds want to know where the little chain went...
