Changing the PTO Speed
NOTE: Make sure the drawbar is set in the correct position if operating a drawbar pulled, PTO driven
implement; See Drawbar Positions for PTO Operation on Page 99 for more information.
Via Reversible Shaft Type PTO
(Typically North American Tractors)
This PTO has a reversible shaft and depending on
which way the shaft is inserted will allow either 540
or 1000 rpm PTO speed.
Inserting the shaft with 6 splines showing will give
540 PTO rpm and with 21 splines showing will give
1000 PTO rpm.
To change ends and therefore change PTO rpm
speed refer to steps 1 and 2 (left hand column) on
the previous page.
Via Shiftable Type PTO
(Typically European Tractors)
This PTO also has a reversible 6/21 spline shaft. To
allow easy changing of the PTO speed this PTO
type has a lever in the operators cab.
To change speed, disengage the PTO (if engaged).
Move the lever forward or rearward as required and
re-engage the PTO.
