I might be wrong, but I believe that the PTs only have one PTO circuit that is used for all the attachments, so I would suspect that the flow from that PTO is a compromise to fit as many attachments as possible. |
Mith,
PTs have one
PTO and you may well be correct about compromise but I think that mowing is likely the design point for the following reasons:
1. The 1845 is primarily a mower. While it is true that other attachments can be used the design appears to be optimized for mowing steep slopes.
2. For the other units, if you look at the hydraulic attachments available none of them require much power for movement when being used, with the possible exception of the powered rake. Conversily mowing, particularly on slopes which is a forte of the PT design, requires substantial power to move the tractor/mower/operator around and the selection of the amount of power to allocate to the
PTO must take that into account to get a machine with satisfactory performance.
