l 3700 PTO power

[Tomtint]

I have a L3700 and I'm looking at a chipper for it, the one I'm looking at is a 6" and says it requires 30 HP to run. I checked the specs on my PTO and do not understand how it is rated. One spec says 30 HP and the other says something like 22. Can any one enlighten me on this?

30 hp at the PTO is correct.

The L3700 is rated at 30Hp or 22kW at the PTO. If you do your thinking in metric you appreciate having the kilowatt measurement rather than that nasty old steam engine performance measure that all Americans tend to use.


They equate to the same thing.
