Hello everyone. I just took delivery of a new X738 with 47 inch snowblower just in time for a November snow storm. In reading the manuals for both the X738 and the snowblower, I am confused about one thing. In the X738 manual it says to move the throttle to the "fast" position before engaging the PTO, while in the snowblower manual it says that the PTO shouldn't be engaged at full throttle because it's hard on the PTO clutch. Am I reading something wrong? Which of these recommendations should I be going by? As often as I accidentally disengage the PTO by not hitting the RIO before backing up, it seems like it would be a real pain to have to throttle down, engage PTO and then throttle back up. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
