I have a cut tractor. ..and I use the pto to finish mow and bush hog a bunch. Does PTO work the hydro/tranny oil as hard or harder that hydro transmission or front end loader work ??
Thanks

If you are worried about it and that's your only concern with your aspirations, just change your oil and filter more often ensuring that you use the type of oil that is specified for your tractor....like the Premium orange stuff that is made for hydro's, wet brakes, steering, tranny, PTO, and diff. In short, JM20C

Does it work it "harder", not really. Does it work it more, yes. The main thing that is going to deteriorate the oil is heat and the pressure generated by the pump will create heat. But that is why you have a tractor isn't it? The manufacturer's service intervals take that into account. But like Texasmark said, if it concerns you, change more often.
