I've got a ford 501 sikle bar mower to run on my MF 135. does anyone know what the recommended pto speed is for this type mower? It has a wooden pittman arm.

thanks,

In theory 540rpm. However, I usually run slower than that. It depends on the crop I'm mowing - dry alfalfa mows easy I run slow pto; short fine grass mows hard I give it some steam.

I'd say the correct answer is run it at the speed it works for you in your crop.

FORD 501'S SHOULD BE RATED FOR 540 RPM, AND YOUR
MF 135 ALSO.
