Why it's CRITICAL to Check PTO Length on New Implements (Failure to do so may cost $$$)

Focused entirely on one safety-critical pre-use check: verifying PTO shaft length before running a new implement. Mike opens with a real-world failure story from his dealer days, then demonstrates on his own tractor-flail mower combo why an overly long shaft causes damage and explains the two key clearance rules from the owner's manual. Closes with practical advice on having a dealer cut the shaft to fit. Best for new implement buyers unfamiliar with PTO fitment.
