PTO speed increaser

[rbargeron]

My older Kubota's had two-speed PTO, but my L5450 has single-speed only - anybody know of a shaft-mounted speed increaser gearbox made for this purpose? Some jobs don't need much torque and it would be nice to have about 50% higher PTO rpm so I could run the engine down around 1700 (like I did with L4150).

Try http://www.bypy.it/ I cannot find it in the catalogue but I'm almost sure they build PTO conversion gearboxes.

It turns out that Kubota makes the needed parts and they fit right into the pto gearbox without modification. My rig now has <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=owning&Number=102451&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all>2-speed pto</A> and I'm happy, if a few bucks lighter./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
