Abstract: The article discusses a study which compares power take-off (PTO) shielding across multiple farming operations. The methods of the U.S. National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) phone survey and an on-farm audit are mentioned. Results show detailed information about the proportion of farms that have a functional driveline shield.
