Just Bought PTO REVERSER

[EaTmYtAiLpIpEs]

I found a pto reverser on ebay earlier. $450 buy it now price. SO I emailed the guy found out how many splines there were that go on the pto on tractor. He said 10 so I bought it. Here is a pic of it. Tell me what you think. I little paint and put it on the tractor hook my post hole digger back up. I will be 100% better now.

So does your Kubota B6000 have a 10 spline PTO shaft then?
Looks like the reverser has a 6 spline for the implements, if I'm seeing it correctly.

yes my kubota has a 10 spline thank god. and the implement(post hole digger) I have has a 6 spline yoke so I am good lol. Just have to hook it up and bolt it to something so it doesnt swing around.

OK dumb question...does it have a selectable gearbox where it will turn CCW or CW?

 

[EaTmYtAiLpIpEs]

to be honest i am not sure. that would be cool if it did tho because i am gonna run a post hole digger off of it. so if by any chance the digger got stuck it could back out. i will let you know when I get it if it switches direction.

Will bolt right onto the back of the tractor and that will stop it from spinning. It's a one to one ratio simply reversing the direction of the PTO.

The US tractors have 10 spline 31/32 of an inch shafts, the UK machines are 18 spline.

Keep her full of gear oil.

im confused..... a normal PHD is designed to run clockwise off the standard PTO, thus turning the auger head the right way to dig.

a PTO reverser would normally spin the PHD backward, only good if you got stuck.

so it would go something like, dont use it to dig the hole, get it stuck, dissconnect the driveshaft from the tractor, attach the reverser, reattach the driveshaft, spin it backward out of the hole, then repeat the whole process again so you can use it normally.

which (while a lot of work) would work, except you mention the weird spline thing so now im all lost as to how you think this is going to help you run a standard spline PHD.

Schmism, I am eagerly awaiting the answer, cause what you wrote is what I was trying to figure out.

Schmism, the B6000 has a reverse turning PTO. A reverser is required to use any standard impliments....... mowers and such made for the B6000 are already designed to run in reverse. Makes it difficult to find any impliments that can be operated on the B6000.

Thanks, that makes much more sense now.

What the heck is the advantage of making one run backwards from everyone else's?
