I have only done it with a rotary cutter. And try not to do this generally.Its one thing to do it with a hay rake, but much more serious if running a rototiller or auger buried in dirt.
You can overheat and warp the clutch packs instantly.
I did it and couldnt believe it.
There is no ePTO function on the MX lineI think he's referring to the 2000 rpm line - does MX6000 have an ePTO line like Deere?
What weak spots are there with the Kubota pto?
I didn't compare the price to a new one, but it is cheaper than comparable hours on used ones I've seen.
I was always taught to engage pto at low rpm, ease out the clutch, and then run up the rpms.I have only done it with a rotary cutter. And try not to do this generally.
Yeah, I know that too. That knowledge is sometimes forgotten during a senior moment.I was always taught to engage pto at low rpm, ease out the clutch, and then run up the rpms.
Heck, my Massey Hydrostatic has a clutch to engage and disengage the pto.
So I engage at low rpm, ease out the clutch, then run my rpms up to PTO speed.
You forgot "I smash the differential lock when my back tire is spinning as fast as it can". or "I run it at 1200 rpm all the time to reduce engine wear"......lolI'd forget it. If they are that careless or thoughtless, just imagine what other situations where they have ignored common sense: "Yeah, I go to full governor as soon as it starts with my 7' 'trasher' in order to save fuel." "I opened up the injector to double the power for snow plowing." "I never take it out of 4 wheel drive 'cause I don't want to ever get stuck." I carry a 2000 lb weight box on the back for extra traction when I pull the tree stumps out." "I only use the cheapest oil and change it often so I don't have to change the filter." I dump my used truck engine oil in the tank to save money. Seems to work just fine." I got a deal on new front tires (take-offs). They are not exactly the right size but haven't noticed any problems other than it steers harder than I thought it should." "Would never buy another one 'cause it wore out in 2 years." "Replaced a burst loader line with a garden hose. No problems." The list never gets shorter....
