I'm starting in on mounting a Kubota G2546b snow blower on a Kubota B7200 HST.
The tractor has a two speed mid mount pto that outputs over 2100rpm at full engine speed. That's good, because the blower has a 5:1 reduction system feeding the impeller and auger ;-)
Building up the drive line, (**** the Kubota "special" 1 inch-10 spline pto) I'm concerned about driveline whip.
The "stretch" between the underside pto output stub and any bearing supported mid shaft might be up to 3 feet long. Kubota wants a pretty penny for those double ended intermediate shafts, and I have not seen anything longer than 14 inches (p/n 70060-02728)
Will a tubular pto shaft be required? Or will sold shafting between U joints be OK?
The entire mounting is scratch bult around the Kubota quick mount system. So anything is possible. Of course, there is no sense spending $$$ due to ignorance. ;-)
Any suggestions on "High speed pto driveline design"?
TIA
