All,
Yesterday I installed my 54" MMM on my BX2360 for the first time. I am a little concerned though. When I engage my Mid-PTO I hear a clunk, the tractor hood shakes a little bit, and then a puff of black smoke comes out of the muffler. This does not happen when my rear PTO.
The sound similiar to the sound my family's old ford would make if I was light on the clutch the when engaging PTO implements. If I was too light I would also shear a shear pim.
Before starting any PTO I lower the engine RPM to 1300 to minimize the shock put on the PTO and the implements just as the users manual says to.
I know on the rear PTO there is a slow ramp up when engaging a PTO. ie does not start at 540 RPM instantly. Does the Mid-PTP have the same? Is this something I should be calling the dealer about.
