Front PTO?

[SethO]

Is there any tractor that has a front PTO?

 

[Bob_Skurka]

A lot of brands of lawn and garden tractors have a front PTO, usually with a pulley attached to drive things like snowblowers or the mower deck.

My Honda 5518 has a front and rear PTO,the front as Bob said is pulley driven off the front of the engine.I run a snowblower and my mid mower from it.Great tractor if you can still find them kicking around.

I believe the JD cuts have a front PTO that bolts to the front bumper and is shaft driven off the mid PTO.

The New Holland TV 140 is the only tractor I can think of off the top of my head that has a PTO and 3 point on both ends of the tractor. Here is a link to thier site. NH TV145 Articulated Tractor

Here's a picture of a JD790 with a front PTO (as part of a front snowblower installation). It's connected to the Mid PTO via a drive shaft.

My old JD650 had a rear, mid, and front PTO. The front and mid pto were different sides of the same shaft (driven off the engine by a belt)

If they are on opposite sides of the same shaft wouldn't one of them be going backwards? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think these have front wheel disc brakes too!!!
they also have "side" braking, where I think BOTH left, or right will brake, depending on how you select it.

after all... you did say ANY tractor? lol

I think a lot of the Kiotis have a front PTO. I seem to recall the DK45?, among other models, had it.

I have also seen an 3PH adapter that fits on the loader via a quick attach plate. It had a hydraulic PTO that pulled off the tractor's hydraulic system.

What do you think you would need one for?

Just wondering !!!

 

[Mrwurm]

Yes !

I am not sure if the gearbox on the mower or the snowblower was setup for the reverse direction.

Soon, I'll have 1,000 posts /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I wonder if there will be cake ? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

SethO, my Bolens G214 (Iseki 21 horse circa 1986) came with a kit to mount a front PTO off the front of the crankshaft to run MMM. You have to drill a 2" hole through the bracket the suitcase weights hang-on and mount a herky device that houses 3 big V belts and an ideler wheel that engages and reduces the speed for a PTO. In fact I want to sell it( NEVER USED) and I'm making digital photos for an Ebay auction. It fits the 21 & 27 hp 1986 era tractor-TE series I think.

What about if the driver changes his sitting position 180 degree (by extending steering wheel arm)? Then, the rear PTO can be called Front PTO and can the same work that a front end attachment does be done by that rear pto which I called now front pto?

I just knew there would be cake ! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thanks

Another solution; Using a big mirror in front of the driver, we can consider the rear PTO as the front PTO? lol- Not joking.
