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. |
The PT425 has one MAIN
pto with 8GPM@2500PSI and one AUX
pto. The aux is what powers the cylinder for the quick attach, steering and lift arms, as well as the angle on the plow, the grapple, etc...
