I have a problem with twisting the pto shaft on my bush hog. I have to be honest, I'm new to farming. I grew up using tractors but they were older models. I recently bought a used Kioti dk55. It has an electric pto, which I'm not used to. The first time I used a bush hog with it I was thinking and turned on the pto with the rpm's too high. It was as if i had hit something and when I pushed in the clutch it didn't stop the pto. (this was what I was used to). Before I could push the button, the u-joint broke and it twisted the inner part of the shaft. Got that fixed and lesson learned. I have been careful not to engage the pto except at lowest rpm. However, I keep shearing bolts and the shaft has again twist to the point I can't seperate the 2 piece shaft. The blades and gear box turn freely. Any ideas?
