Trying Something New Today on the Farm!

What happens here

The presenter engages the tractor's PTO, activating the manure spreader's internal mechanisms. He highlights the dangerous moving parts inside the spreader (chains, tines, and paddles) and stresses the importance of staying clear of the rear when it's operating. He also demonstrates how the tailgate of the spreader can be dropped for cleaning or loaded with a large bucket. He secures the tailgate with pins.

Goal: Activate the spreader and review safety procedures.
