I have a new 4210 when pto switch is pull on there is instant pto engadgement,is there any way to smooth out this harsh engadgment,something like the old clutch pto engadgment?

My 670 is a gear machine, so this may not apply. I engage the PTO at 1200 RPM or so, rather then at rated PTO RPM. Once engaged, I'll increase the engine speed.

The dealer and manual recommend engaging at a lower RPM like 1200 and then bringing it up to speed. Disengaging at a idle is also recommended, but in an emergency disengaging at any RPM is OK.

On my older machine I simply lower the RPM's down to about 1500 or so and then engage. After that I just crank up the throttle and it is a much smoother transition. I noticed that when I engaged at higher RPM's I had the same problem.
