I've assembled a Liberty 8" Chipper and will soon hook it on the 3pt and take it to the lot. The chipper has a belt drive from the PTO input shaft to the flywheel shaft but there is no clutch of any kind. I know to keep the engine speed low when I start it but:
Do I clutch, put the PTO in the LInk mode and then ease out the clutch or do I just flip the the switch to Independent without clutching? I assume the Independent has some sort of clutch of it's own that will prevent killing the engine or slipping the belts. The chipper has a 175 lb flywheel and it will surely take a little time to wind up.
