kubota mid pto hp rating?

[RoyBrooks]

I have a b6200 with the mid pto, I was wondering if it would be rated at the same hp as the rear pto? I have a vickers v20f hydraulic pump and was thinking of running it off the pto to run a log splitter. The specs say the v20f I have puts out 6gals/min @1200 rpm, I calculated at 540 rpm the pump would put out only 2.9 which is less than the tractor. The mid pto has a speed of 2400 which the pump would put out about 11 gals/min much quicker. Was wondering about rigging up the pump to the mid pto , any ideas what the mid pto is for? besides the mower deck? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

CAUTION: A lot of my post is recalling information from memory; I don't have the information readily available to validate any of it...

MID-PTO INFORMATION:
I vaguely remember reading in one of my manuals that Kubota's mid-PTO is to be used only for specific Kubota implements. I can't remember which implements can be used (besides the mid-mower), but it seems like maybe the front mounted sweeper? You might want to check to see if the rear and mid PTOs use the same spline; I think that they're different.

REAR PTO INFORMATION:
My older B7100 had 3 rear PTO speeds (I think the newer hydrostat B7100s have only 2 PTO speeds).

My B2150 has two PTO speeds for the rear PTO. I think that the higher PTO speed is in the 800 rpm range.

I believe that the B7200 was produced in the late 1980s (between my two tractors). Therefore, even though I know very little about your B7200, I would guess that it probably has 2 (or more) rear PTO speeds.


Hope that this was helpful (and accurate...),
