another. (An example would be with the tractor on level ground, and the Articulator posi-
tioned in a ditch heading uphill toward level ground. This should represent your maximum
PTO shaft extension.
11. Turn off the tractor, disengage the PTO, shift the transmission into neutral, and set the
parking brake.
12. The PTO shaft should maintain a minimum engagement of 1/2 of the total compressed
shaft length.
13. If the PTO shaft maintains at least 1/2 shaft engagement, your maximum extension will be
within the proper range of the PTO shaft.
14. If the PTO shaft does not maintain at least 1/2 shaft engagement, you will not be operat-
ing within the proper range of the PTO shaft. You will need to either avoid this area when
cutting, or install a longer PTO shaft.
15. If you install a longer PTO shaft, you will need to re-check the maximum compression, to
see that you are still operating within the proper range of the PTO shaft.
