my 2320 has 24 engine hp and is rated at 18.5 PTO hp. It has hydro drive.
A comparable gear drive tractor always shows a higher PTO hp spec.
Does the 18.5 PTO rating apply when driven "under load"? Or standing still?
I ask this because I'm thinking of getting a PTO chipper - which is obviously only used while stationary. But I definitely notice the engine bogs when driven - such as when I am plowing heavy snow with the rear blade.
Can I expect more than 18.5 PTO hp while stationary?
