I have read from a couple posters here that they have referred to the Mid PTO on most tractors as "whimpy". Is this a torque thing? I mean the rear PTO is 540 rpm. (Or 960 RPM according to Kubota's specs) The Mid PTO is like 2500 RPM. Is the Rear PTO "geared lower" for more grunt type work?
Reason for questioning is that for implements that can be used for either (MMM & RFM, Front snowblower & 3PT snowblower), is one preferred over the other? And I'm not referring to an ergonomic (Wow! Big word! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) or manuverabilty (another one!) preference. Strickly a "useable power" question.
