Why isn't this on every tractor? New Technology that makes life easier!

What happens here

The presenter provides a live demonstration of attempting to disconnect a traditional PTO shaft from a brush hog. He visibly struggles with pushing in the stiff detent pin, wrestling with the weight and awkwardness of the greasy shaft, and achieving the correct alignment for removal. This struggle is emphasized as a common 'pain in the butt' experience for farmers, illustrating the physical effort, mess, and time consumed by conventional PTO connections, which often deters regular maintenance like greasing.

Goal: Observe the difficulties associated with disconnecting a traditional, heavy, and greasy PTO shaft from a brush hog, highlighting the problem the PTO Link solves.
