if you do this, don't forget to put a section of 2x8 under the jack before you jack it up... otherwise it might sink into the grass and cause you trouble
(those that get it... anybody have a link to that thread? it was hilarious)

It was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. He got pretty far down the road before all of the duct tape let loose and flew off to the side of the road.

Here are some sites about this...

Here is a video demonstration of a dummy getting wrapped up in the PTO...
