One of the comments to my earlier post regarding the JD50 was potential PTO driveline issues when using 2 cylinder JD tractors. Seems like I read something to that effect somewhere else, but can't find it in some searching.
What is the skinny on running PTO driven implements with a 2 cylinder JD tractor? Are they just apt to pulse and break/bust the drivelines downstream of the tractor?
When it comes to using a JD 2 cylinder tractor for PTO work - are they simply worthless?
We make square bales of hay and do some bush hogging - all of which require PTO power from the tractor. Not looking to buy a 2 cylinder JD, but if a deal came along I might consider it. It would be good to know the fallout of using a 2 cylinder JD with our equipment prior to any purchase.
Just curious.
Thanks,
Bill
