I am on a Fire Dept and also a member of our training commitee that plans and conducts bi-weekly training drills. We wanted to conduct a different training than we have ever done before... So being the tractor enthusiast I am, I thought, why not tractor related emergencies? So we reviewed tractor safety in the classroom, than took to the farm for a few hands on demonstrations. One scenario was a PTO entrapment, the other was a loader failure, pinning a person. Here's a few pics for you guys!
Our farmer, Stewie:
Loader failure - using Hurst airbags to free victim:
PTO entrapment - Makes for a good demo!
The "non-tractorers" of the FD really enjoyed getting their hands on the equipment and learning how destructive a PTO can be
