If you don't mind? May I ask why did you decide to use PTO driven instead of full hydraulic system? It would probably eliminate the risk of damaging the tractor because if the grinder gets stuck, it is the hydraulic motor that could get damaged and is easier (probably cheap too) to replace rather than to fix the PTO system?

Fecon uses full hydraulic system and its powerful hammer teeth could easily grind through anything.

I was just wondering and is it possible because it is cheaper to use PTO system or because PTO has more HP/speed than what hydraulic system can offer??
