I have just purchased a YM 1500 with with a Big Bee
"Agri Four" 4 foot shredder. This is my first tractor and am confused on the over-running clutch.
As it was explained, depressing the clutch with the PTO engaged does not "disconnect" the PTO. While practicing, I noticed that the shredder appears to carry the tractor forward based on the momentum of the blades. I see where this could cause problems. I assume if I "stand" on the brakes after depressing the clutch (moving forward), something (PTO, diveshaft, shredder)is going to break.
So, experienced tractor operators must be very skillful at disengaging the PTO on the fly.....Or......does the "overrunning cluth" somehow solve this problem? An explanation in "City Boy" terms would be appreciated.
So many questions......
