sdkubota:
Thank you for this suggestion. I had not thought of PTO extenders.
Are PTO extenders something Tractor Supply sells or does it require a more specialized vender?
Anything I need to know about PTO extenders, starting from zero ?? Sizing? Interference issues?
Tractor Supply (around here, at least) doesn't carry the extender you need.
Here's one:
Pto Adapter 1-3/8 X6 Spline Male X 1-3/8X6 Spline Female Pto Adapter
I bought this "adapter" when I bought the Pat's Easy Change for my previous tractor...works fine.The 4-5 inches it extends compensates perfectly for the 4" added length of the Pat's system. This is advice from one (me) who has personal experience.
Now, I didn't need this for all of my PTO driven implements...just a wood chipper. The cutter and RFM driveshafts had enough overlap to not require an adaptor.
