Massey Ferguson used to have a wagon that had the wheels driven by the tractor ground pto.Can you still find something like this today ?
It doesn't need to match perfectly, "Over driven" slightly works well on soft surfaces. There would be no need for the feature on good traction conditions.I dunno….. it seems like it would be difficult to mesh the wagon driven speed to the tractor travel speed……
But then, maybe I’m not the smartest person in the world either
I have not seen it myself but a guy I worked with for years told me about the Mennonites taking old truck frames to make trailers and connecting the drive shaft to the PTO. Said they could get some real speed doing that, claimed they did it so they could get to and from town quicker.
Like I said I never saw it myself.
It would be about as fast as the truck would have been at a low idle in whatever gear gave it a 1:1 ratio on the transmission.A 540 shaft with standard truck rear end gears won’t go very fast. Probably not as fast as the tractors stock gears will go.
