So what's the best method for engaging my MX5 rotary cutter? I read one place to engage the PTO at lower-than-normal RPM, and then bring it up to speed. Another place says to engage it only at full PTO RPM. I don't want to burn up the slip clutch (the nominal reason for engaging at lower RPM), but I also don't want to overstress the engine (engaging at full PTO RPM really seems to "lug" the engine down a bunch). I've asked my dealer (waiting on e-mail reply), but wondered what you folks would recommend, and why?
