Batwing PTO angle max in a turn

[Garrett Wiggins]

It all depends on the style hitch you have. Most will turn almost as sharp but it will wear out parts faster and create vibrations.

From the Woods BW-180 Manual

"CV Driveline Turning Limits
NOTICE You must not exceed a turning angle of 80 degrees at the head of the Constant Velocity drive-line or damage will occur.
1. To check for potential excessive turn angle,disconnect the drive line from tractor.
2. Start engine and turn as far right or left as possible.
3. Shut engine off and try to connect CV driveline to tractor. If it cannot be connected, the turn angle is too severe.
4. Restart engine and straighten angle slightly, shutoff engine and try to connect CV driveline to tractor.
5. Repeat the process until the driveline can be connected. The point at which the driveline can be connected is the maximum turn that should be made.

I was going to pull out the manual when I got back to the farm this weekend. That was the information I needed.
