I am looking for advice on the proper way to engage and dis-engage the pto when using my Jinma wood chipper. I have many hours on it since buying it used but always doubt myself when I power it up or when I shut it down.
I have a Kioti CK25hst the chipper is a 6" Jinma with a large flywheel.
When I start the chipper I bring the throttle down as low as it will go, slowly ease out the clutch, and then bump the throttle up to running rpm (2300).
When I shut it down I now just push the clutch in, put the pto in neutral, lift the clutch and idle down the tractor.
I used to idle the tractor, then press the clutch, shift into neutral, lift the clutch.
I stopped doing this because someone told me it put a lot of strain on the PTO gears.
Are any of these methods correct, I don't want to break anything?
There is no clutch in the PTO shaft.
Thanks for the advice!
