We need to have an honest and frank discussion about the dangers of tractor PTOs.

I can't believe anyone can go down to a John Deere dealership and buy an automatic. Automatics should be outlawed.

Same goes for cars.

Hell, most heavy trucks are going automatic now, and I don't think they got torque converters so there's no loss of power. Saves on training cause most truck companies pay poo poo now so no one wants to spend $3000 on training.

Also farm PTOs are hella dangerous, you know how many kids are mangled by farm equipment every year? My cousin's husband almost lost his leg after his pants got caught in a grain screw

Part of the reason things like farming, coal mining, and oil poo poo are considered such a red blooded American job is because they're dangerous, and hence manly. Dismemberment is a feature, not a bug, until it happens to you.

Those shift by computer controlled solenoids. They still have a clutch, too.

Yeah I grew up on a farm and every year the county extension has safety courses for kids so they know not to get dismembered by a PTO when their hoodie string or whatever gets caught in it or suffocated by a grain cavity collapse. Industrial agricultural is potentially very dangerous yo

Many people can't even operate an automatic car without loving it up, there's no reason anyone should think any different of manual vehicles.

Basically more things to break. This isn't such a problem in the US where nowhere is really remote, but truckers in Australia going through the desert would exclusively use crash boxes.

That and stupidly heavy poo poo where even a marginal risk of having a break down is way too high a risk, the good old crash box gets the job.

apparently i should have studied manly poo poo and not nerd poo poo because this was how i assumed automatics worked

also sometimes to get grain out you use what amounts to a huge shop vac to suck out the grain, or sometimes to remove the stuff that gets crusty along the top edge of the silo. particularly if you are trying to suck off the crusty stuff, you may find yourself doing this when the silo is quite full and you're now attached to this very heavy piece of equipment as you're engulfed by literal tons of grain. my stepdad had a dog that fell into the poo poo pond and died, but i dont' really remember why the poo poo pond exists.

Automatics in cars generally run off hydraulic pressure. Torque converter bolts to the flywheel, which turns the pump inside to create pressure. CVTs being different, usually chain drive or reinforced belt to a torque converter.

Some big autos are built for military poo poo, like the PLS, HEMTT, most anything with the big two stroke diesels. The autos in MTVs also had torque converters, iirc. They're from before the time of solenoid shifted sequential gearboxes. They've only been viable about a decade now, and in research for the past twenty years, at least.

Because Trump is so monumentally god drat stupid and Perry is running the department of energy, is this the Iran nuclear deal so he can continue throwing his toddler fit all over anything Obama did or is there another nuclear deal he's going to make the world a measurably worse place with? Have to be specific about Donnie's fuckups, there's too many.

He has to certify that they're following the terms of the deal, which by all indications they are. He's really pissed about the last time because Mattis sat him down and made him sign it. None of the other partners want to negotiate another deal so this will probably set us back to right after Axis of Evil levels of bullshit.
