Unusual Tie Question

[tboy]

Me neither, it would get caught in the PTO.

I found it unfair, that I spent 25 years in dark suits and ties,
and a year after I retired from that business, casual became the norm. Rats.

LOL yeah, me too.....I found it funny though that since guys are pretty limited to what they can wear after the suit coat comes off (you know, dark grey slacks, light grey slacks, dark blue, brown etc) and typically a white shirt, the only real standout was the tie. I know all the guys I used to hang with would be all over someone if they got a new hot tie......Even better was when the tie shop in the mall attached to the building I worked in got a new shipment. At lunch we'd all be over there pawing through the latest and greatest....

(kind of like that scene in American Psycho where they were all oohing and ahhing over the guy's new business card lol)

Ouch, fatal ouch, if you are speaking of one on a tractor or similar piece of equipment. Geesh, I don't even want to think about it.

It's peculiar I've never really minded suits and ties (except when it's hotter than the hinges of Hell). Perhaps it was the thought, at least I don't have to wear a wig.

Okay, at the risk of embarrassing myself along with the rest of the guys on this thread.

can you install a clip on to any tie?

Technically I can see how to do it, but practically I've never seen the "clips" themselves sold retail.

It's not that difficult to learn how to tie a tie, and for myself save for an industrial or Police environment (safety reasons) I don't see any advantage.

Power Take Off

For example - a shank found on a tractor. Used to supply cranked mechanical power to other equipment (pump, manure spreader, brush cutter etc.) through a universal joint and shaft(s). PTOs are notorious for catching something and pulling it in by winding it up. A tie (or any dangling clothing) in the wrong place could be fatal.

I agree with Power take off, but I also hear people say 'power to operate' ????

The usual cause of death for farmers are pant legs being caught in a PTO
by a careless farmer stepping over them when running.

A lot of newer farm PTO equipment have plastic sleeves / shields around the drive shaft. Still, it always pays to treat the whole situation with healthy respect. I heard of a guy who had both arms ripped off at the shoulders. (Could be a rural legend!)

Regulations require nonrotating plasic sleaves around PTO driveshafts. But anone using
equipment like that knows that it works as intended for a little while, and
after that the protection is gone.

My rule is not to leave the tractor seat while the PTO shaft is turning.

Just have someone tie it for you once and just loosen it enough to take it off.

Really though, it's not like it takes more than 30 seconds to tie one.

Good rule.
