You guys, please be very careful with your machinery. And, know when to turn it off.
Less than 2 weeks ago, a news helicopter was live at the scene of a farm accident few miles north. That's all they said about it. My fiance' knows one of the Medics that responded & got the details. It was worse he's seen in 25 yrs.
It was a guy (in his twenties) that got out of his machine to grease a part. He didn't shut it off, & his clothing got sucked in the blades & it took him. It's like a horizontal egg beater - to chop up corn stalks. I'm sure he didn't know what hit him, but I will always cringe at the thought.
