:welcome:
That wouldnt help any as it slips in the opposite direction allowing the equipment to remain turning when the PTO stops. Its like a ratchet set on tighten in the direction that the PTO turns.What about some kind of overrun clutch like guys use on the 8N and 9N tractors? Wouldn't that provide some kind of cushion until the implement got up to speed?
I'm not sure about that the way its being described engaging it sounds like its basically performing the equivalent of a clutch dump instead in a in a truck where you just dump the clutch and hope for the best instead of a modulated clutch release. This mower probably has a fair amount of rotating mass. Its basically like taking a medium duty truck loading it up to its GVWR and dumping the clutch with descent RPMs on the motor. i've seen everything from twisted Prop shafts, Transmission that have ripped the mounting bosses out of them and differentials spun around the axle shafts 15-20 degrees. normally these trucks have no problem hauling around a heavy load but do something they really were not intended to do and stuff breaks.I'm not familar with your mower or tractor , but something ain't right . Flail mower , rotary with two big hinged blades , new , used ,how big ? It should stall tractor before it breaks anything . Just trying to help .
many thanks for all the answers.
I have checked the way it engages the pto and that electric-hydraulic. The electric switch engages a hydraulic pump and the oil forces the pto clutch to grab into the engine.
A mecanic told me that you can lower the speed of the hydraulic oil so it will go slower to work. anybody experience with that?
Also can you simply slower the idle rpm or is it electronic?
thanks
