SECTION 2 - OPERATION

PTO OPERATION

PTO Requirements

CAUTION: BE SURE ALL SHIELDS AND GUARDS ARE IN PLACE BEFORE OPERATING THE PTO.

CAUTION: USE THE ARTICULATION LOCK FOR STATIONARY PTO APPLICATIONS OR TRACTOR SERVICING.

IMPORTANT: Excessive clutch slippage can cause premature clutch failure. Do not attempt to unplug a jammed implement by repeatedly engaging and disengaging the PTO clutch.

APTO is a factory- or dealer-installed option. If your tractor does not have a factory-installed PTO, and you desire one, see your Buhler Versatile dealer.

The PTO is a wet disc type clutch with an integral brake, controlled by a solenoid operated valve. It can be operated through the full range of engine RPM, but cannot be engaged when the engine speed is above 1400 RPM.

NOTE: Any tractor equipped with a PTO option must be equipped with 38° articulation blocks (or 33° - 31° based on tire options).

The implement PTO drive shaft must have a 45

mm(1-3/4″) diameter splined shaft (20 spline) yoke designed for 1000 RPM. Do not use an adapter for a smaller yoke.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A 35 MM (1-3/8″)

PTO ADAPTOR SHAFT. THE SHAFT MAY BREAK AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

Before operating any PTO implement:

1.Lock the drawbar directly behind the PTO shaft to eliminate any swinging action.

2.Check for proper clearance of the PTO drivelines to the PTO shaft and 3-point hitch, especially when turning or in rough terrain.

3.The correct distance between the drawbar hitch pin and the PTO shaft is 508 mm (20″). This distance is not adjustable. No drawbar extension is necessary to operate PTO driven implements at 1000 RPM.

NOTE: Some implement manufacturers may require a specific drawbar to PTO shaft distance relationship. Refer to the implement operator’s manual.
