I have a Wallenstein BX42 chipper. When I engage the PTO, I first bring the engine speed to idle, engage the PTO and then raise the engine speed back to full. The flywheel in the chipper is something on the order of 80 to 100 pounds and I am worried that I might slice the shear bolt, engaging at full PTO speed.
Should I be this cautious? Feedback please
