The spinner on my fert. spreader is 1000 rpm. Wouldn't need tobe for torque but I pull it with a tractor that only has 1000. Even at that I need an adapter because tractor (Cat 35) has large 1000 and spreader has small 1000.

As the speed of a shaft increases the torque load decreases proportionally for a given amount of power being transmitted. As power levels get up much past 100 hp the size and strength required in the PTO and implement driveline just become too much for a 540 rpm system.

My 15 ft brush cutter and round baler are 1000 rpm. I bought both used and around here anything with 1000 rpm pto is cheaper. Nobody wants it.

Doesn't have to be big for 1000 rpm, some silage blowers have them, namely the ones with a smaller diameter fan.

My Kubota B2150 24hp tractor has a 2 spd. pto with std. 6 spline shaft. Case DB smaller tractors also did. Great for light loads like a tedder. Cut the engine RPMs and still do same job.

Most modern forage harvesters run on 1000 RPM PTO, as do many big balers, and large manure spreaders. In reality, most equipment set up to run on 1000 usually runs somewhat smoother.

A lot of the big grain carts are 1000 rpm pto.

Pretty much anything over 80 hp uses 1000 rpm. Our big snowblower is and our discbine can be setup for it.

I had a 10 foot disc Moco that came 1000. I swapped pulleys around and converted it to 540.

So wouldn't gearboxes and bearings go out quiet if there turning that much faster

Our most used equipment is the turd hearse and snowblower, we have several others like the grain cart and bale processor

some people I know think a 1000 rpm pto is like a red head step child, no offence to anyone.
my 15 foot bat wing brush hog, round baler and my 500 gal field sprayer all use it and I do think nothing of it. I know some people will not buy something with 1000 but I have 5 tractors with it so doesn't matter to me. I think it works better on the brush hog anyway.

The benefits from reducing the torque being transmitted for a given amount of power far outweigh the proportional increase in speed. Besides, 1000 rpm is still relatively slow for components such as gearboxes, drivelines, and bearings.

My 130 HP Tractor with a "modulated" (yeah right) PTO engagement at 540 RPM twisted 2 shafts so that they wouldn't telescope on my previous manure spreader so I ordered my new one with 1000 RPM to hopefully avoid that problem.

Think of it as riding a 10 speed bike up the same incline at the same speed. Say one time you go up in the hill in the 5th speed. You pedal faster but the force your feet apply the pedal crank is less. This would be the equivalent of the 1000 rpm shaft. The next time you go up the hill you use the tenth speed. You pedal slower but the force applied to the pedals is far greater to overcome the resistance of the incline. This example is equivalent to the torque (or twisting force) in the 540 rpm operation.

Sales literature for the Deere 30 series tractors in the 1970s states that you should buy 1000 rpm equipment whenever possible because the 1000 is direct and the 540 goes through a set of reducing gears in the transmission.
