Kubota BX2200
My dad has a 455 garden tractor and a 445 rotary tiller (54" pto driven). I have a Kubota BX2200 and am hoping to find a pto adapter that will let me hook up the pto shaft to my tractor. My tractor has a regular male end on the tractor, while the tiller's pto shaft also has a male end.

My question is does anyone know the pto speed of this tiller? I know some cat. 0 equipment runs at 1000 rpm. My tractor runs at 540 rpm. I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time finding an adapter if the speeds don't match. Thanks.

Per the owners' manual, the 455 is equipped with a 2000 rpm mid PTO.
Ours doesn't have the rear PTO and there's no mention of it in the manual.

I believe rear pto and lift was available as an option only. I learned in the lawn/garden section that the rear pto is 540, so everything should work for me. Thanks.

I'm planning on adding a 42" bushhog to my 455 this year. The standard rear PTO is 540 female. The dealer sells a $65 male shaft to adapt it to a conventional PTO. Methinks your tiller male end is setup to connect into standard PTO config.
