[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1809380, member: 6291"] I am very pro safety and everything that it involves. I also believe in common sense. I don't not have an guards on shredders. There should be no one in the vicinity of those shafts or the shredder in general when it is running. I dont do the you get in the cab and kick it on and I'll stand here or any thing like that. I come from a lock out tag out, double block and bleed, at least 2 barrier world. I have never been able to get to the grease points I needed with them and they clog up with so much debri. It's a lot easier to keep it clean and maintained with out them, IMO. There are pieces of equipment that have ptos that you have to work around and they definitely need guards. With a shredder, I can not think of a situation where that is necessary. It's always a personal preference though. I watch a lot of YouTube channels with young farmers and things and I cringe every time I see them crawl under equipment being held by hydraulics. People will nicely suggest that they block it or set it down or not go under and it's crazy how many people come to their defense. [/QUOTE]
