5205 PTO Question

[jdeere06]

I have a 5205 JD Tractor, PTO engages, when starting up my Rhino 172 bushhog, but when I get in grass and weeds it almost stops. Anyone out there with similar problem?

I would make sure the slip clutch on the cutter isn't slipping first. That is the cheapest most likely thing.

You can also check that the PTO clutch rod is adjusted correctly. How to adjust/check is in the operators manual, link provided,

Thank you, will check that also.

I have my 5320 apart and can get you photos of all the linkage if you like.

ibboatin28, I would be interested in seeing those photos. Thanks in advance.

Be great if ibboatin28 would post his pics here, so all TBN members benefit from them (for future 5205 PTO questions).
Posting pics is easy to to in TBN.
