The Best PTO Quick Adapter Ever!

rider7767 · Jun 5, 2020

I had a guy send me the best, easiest, and fasted PTO adapter for a tractor to be reviewed on Tony's YouTube channel. I don't share much on the forum out of respect, but this is worth-while, and I think everyone will want one? I know I do!

Tony thanks for the review and post, it is a bear to hook up the newer tractors pto because you cant rotate the pto shaft like we could on our older tractors. I will check out their web page.

I watch Tony's tractor adventure all the time. New to the forum and just got a TYM T474.

Well i bought one of those quick adapter, that thing solves my problem hooking up i use a tiller quite often in the summer months and a 6 ft finish mower and this makes it a easy job hooking up&#55357;&#56397;&#55357;&#56397;

All I did on my JD660 rototiller was take the slip ring off and install a lighter spring in the yoke. It's now quite a bit easier to install the pto shaft on the tractor.

If you watch in the video the installation procedure with that adapter is exactly the same as installing a pto shaft without the adapter.

Exactly.

I have connected quite a few pto shafts over the years and have seen the improvements in shielding meant to protect us from ourselves. While I have issues with much of the mandated safety requirements what I have seen with pto shafts is that with the required shielding they have become difficult to connect. Back when we had much less guarding they where easier to connect the more guarding the more difficult to connect as you have to be a contortionist to be able to flex your hands and wrist to work with many of the pto guards around today so it becomes tempting to remove them. The adapter shown above is easy to connect, however that same shaft without the bellows guard would be just as easy to connect.
A much less expensive change would be the;
"BARE-Co PTO Safety Guard"
There are several videos out showing how they work, I have not purchased any of there guards yet and I will admit to have a few completely unguarded shafts on some equipment (they are the easiest to hook up) as well as some with al sorts of different shields. I do plan on getting these for a couple of my implements, my generator and brush hog come to mind as prime candidates.
These would be in my mind a better solution then that fancy quick connect that extends beyond the pto guarding.
Bare Co USA - PTO Select Safety Guards
A long winded way to say I don't see the need for the fancy adapter when the issue can be taken care of for less.
