Can you run both PTO's at once?

Re: Can you run both PTO\'s at once?

My 33 has two separate levers. You can run both at once. I've done it but with nothing attached to the mid one.

I run both at the same time on my BX2200. Mid = 60 inch MMM and the rear = grass catcher. Plenty of power for my combination of implements.

It does. At least mine does, and I assume it's standard.

A problem with running both PTOs on a small tractor is that can add up to a lot of horses.

I know you CAN run both PTO's on a Class I Boomer at the same time. Don't think I would, but you can.

Thanks for the info guys. I do have two PTO levers on my tractor. I wasn't planning on keeping the rear PTO engaged all the time. It is just for the ends of the field. Basically I want to be able to back up after my turn and wipe out 4' of vegetation without disconnecting the MMM PTO. I will then disengage the rear PTO until I get to another end of the field.

<shrug> If it stalls the tractor, you'll know it doesn't work. I don't think you'll break anything.

On an L3710 you have to run the rear pto at the same time as the mid pto for the mid pto to operate but you're not supposed to load both ptos at the same time. On the Case I can run any combination of the front, mid or rear PTO's.
