Ok I have had my tractor for several months and just got my first pto driven implement (7ft bush hog). I have a JD 5310.
Do I set the throttle and engage the pto all while in Neutral?
I have read where to engage the pto with the throttle down some to avoid slipping the clutch on the bush hog.
Assuming you engage the pto and set the throttle in neutral. I guess you then just shift into gear and go to work?
I looked everywhere in Manual and it just tells me to “Depress clutch pedal, start engine and push throttle forward until tachometer indicates rated speed of 1700 rpm for 540e or 2400 rpm for standard 540” .
