3.7 Power Take Off (PTO)

The implement is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 1000 RPM. Most tractors operate at either 540, or a

combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The operating speed of the implement and tractor can be

determined by the number of splines on the driveline yoke and PTO output shaft. Those operating at 540 RPM

will have a 1-3/8" diameter 6-spline shaft and those operating at 1000 RPM will have a 1-3/8" 21-spline shaft or

a 1-3/4" 20 spline shaft. Refer to the tractor owner's manual for instructions to change PTO speeds on models

that operate at more than one speed.

If operating an older model tractor where the tractor's transmission and PTO utilize one master clutch, an over-

running clutch must be used between the PTO output shaft and the driveline of the implement. An authorized

tractor dealer can provide the over-running clutch and its installation if needed.

DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor

PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in

excessive vibration, thrown objects, and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the

working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury

and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an authorized dealer

for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.

Tractor tires should be set a minimum of 60" (1.5

m) apart measured from inside of tire to inside of

tire, or maximum width possible. Refer to the

tractor Operator's Manual or consult an authorized

dealer for instructions to change tractor tire

spacing. OPS-R- 0062

Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor

operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for

a complete explanation. OPS-U- 0007

Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount

the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely

stopped.
