2 SPEED REAR PTO

[SteveM]

regarding running implements at higher speeds, it is not a good idea. I think folks on this string are running low engine RPMs to keep the implement spinning near 540. I recently bought a tractor with a 3 spd PTO, and the owner showed me the high speed with a tiller attached (!) I think it would self destruct if you tried to till dirt at 1000 rpm..... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The Owners Manual for my B7610 does state that you should not use the 960 rmp PTO speed for implements designed for 540 rpm.

The B7500 that I looked at last Friday, has two positions on the pto lever, one is for the rear 540 pto, the other position is for the front pto for the mmm.

Some of the grey market tillers are designed to operate at 1000 RPM. My Yanmar had 3 speeds. At 1000 RPM, that tiller worked wonders on this clay.
