Sorry I mis-interpreted your post. I have a Mitsubishi Satoh dt372. Mine has the 3 speed pto, also, but runs backwards. HMMM, What to do? What to do? Your tiller possibly could be made to work, if the 1200 pto speed is fast enough to run the tiller. If I were you, I would buy handheld laser tachometer from Harbor Freight, point it at the pto, and see how fast you can get it going. Keep in mind that the tractor in question is geared probably lower than the JD is, and to do a good job of tilling, you may have to use lower ground speed to compensate. If the pto runs backwards, like mine, there is a simple solution to adapt the tiller, but that's another story.
What rpm does JD400 tractor turn 540 on the PTO?

Yea, I kinda made a mistake of posting it. I do have a 540,770,1200 PTO on mine. I don't know why I didnt see that. I am still new to the Mitsu and learning every day. I would think that the JD 400 tiller would work if I switched to 770 rpm's. But, now the tiller was sold why I was trying to figure it out.
thanks,
