180 vs D17, etc live pto?

Anonymous-0 · Dec 19, 2009

Hoping someone can clarify something for me:
We have a wd45 and I know that with the hand clutch u can mow or bale hay.
I have been told that the 160 thru 200 do not have live pto? (and no hand clutch?) Can someone please clarify this...I have thought about getting something a little newer that the wd45, but I know I don't really want something I can't run a hay mower or baler with.
Thanks Reaver

Can't say what they all have but I know the 190XT had a power director which gave it a live PTO sort of like the WD45 has but it also gave you a high and low range with a neutral which is where the live PTO came in

those models still have the over and under, and it will give you live power, only they don't have the big stick like your 45, its a short lever mounted on right side of the dash. is hyd opperated instead of manual, works good, just don't forget and push the foot clutch down.

D14-D15-D17-D19-170-175 all have "hand clutch" much like you are used to except it has a high and low side, doubling your speeds.
160 was made by Renault. It has a two stage foot clutch.
180-185-190 series-200 have the same basic clutch as the D series ,BUT it is controlled hydraulically, not manually. Does the same thing, but not as handy.
