3.6 Power Take Off (PTO)
The tiller is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540 RPM. Most tractors operate at either 540, or a
combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The operating speed of the tiller and tractor can be
determined by the number of splines on the driveline yoke which connects to the tractor output shaft. Those
operating at 540 RPM will have a 6-spline, 1-3/8” diameter shaft and those operating at 1000 RPM will have a
21-spline, 1-3/8” diameter shaft. Note:
The tiller will not and must not operate on tractors equipped with a 1000
RPM 20-spline, 1-3/4” shaft.
3.5 Front End Weight
A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end
weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the
front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front
weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership.
OPS-U- 0005
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor
PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in
excessive vibration, thrown objects, and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the
working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury
and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an authorized dealer
for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.
(S3PT-14)
4. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR
Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor
operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for
a complete explanation.
OPS-U- 0007
Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount
the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped.
(SG-12)
4.1 Boarding the Tractor
Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control
levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator’s seat and secure the seat belt
around you.
Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously
injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid all extra riders at
all times.
