POWER TAKE OFF (PTO)
The PTO system integrated into the new 2600 Series is designed to achieve 540 RPM at an
engine speed which is lower than the speed at which the engine is rated. This allows the en-
gine to run at a higher torque rating under PTO load, helping prevent lug down and the need
to change ground speed. When your engine runs at a lower speed, it requires less fuel which
lowers your cost to run the machine. These lower speeds also improve the longevity of the
engine and drive line. You can choose between live or independent PTO for all three models
of the Massey Ferguson® 2600.
Live PTO, available on all models, utilizes a
dual stage foot clutch to control both the
transmission and the PTO. The lower, or sec-
ond, stage of the foot clutch pedal travel dis-
engages the smaller clutch, which is splined
to the PTO shaft and stops the PTO shaft as
well as tractor travel. The PTO driveline has a
sliding coupler that engages or disengages
the output shaft. The live PTO allows the op-
erator to engage the PTO and bring the PTO
driven implement up to operating speed be-
fore starting tractor travel.
Independent PTO (IPTO) is a feature avail-
able on all 3 models of the MF2600. IPTO
uses a split torque transmission clutch with a
continuously driven PTO shaft. Drive to the
IPTO output shaft is controlled by a hydraulic
clutch pack, which is actuated by an electronic
on/off control. This allows the PTO to be en-
gaged/disengaged at any time with the push
of a button. The hydraulic PTO clutch pro-
vides modulation during start up, which re-
duces the shock load on the implement.
