Massey 35 PTO?

You use the normal 540 for most implements like balers, post hole diggers. Ground speed PTO was designed for a specific implement, I forget what it was- a planter maybe, but also works good for some pto rakes and other things. It's not something you use commonly, but it does come in handy occasionally.
 
Used ground drive more than once when brush hogging. When wire got wrapped around the blades we would shift into ground drive, put the tractor in reverse, and unwind the tangled mess!!
 
The main reason was for the 3pt mounted PTO drive hay rake.

That was the only implement I saw it used for in this area.

there's a real caution in my MF manual about being in ground speed, then shifting into reverse... something about new transmission gears.
I have mine blocked off so i cannot do that.
 
when I have plugged the baler with the Massey I will put it in ground drive and put it in reverse and it will slowly pull the plunger back away from the hay.

Nice to know. This massey has many neat features that are missing from my Jubilee, like power steering, live PTO, Hi-lo tranny, two different lift rates on 3 pt., a reverse on Pto. If neighbor ever decides to sell it, I want first dips.
 
George, I bought a MF65 last summer. It's was the competition, according to some of the tests of the day, to the Ford 800 among others. Now the 800 was a bit ahead of your Jubilee, but comparing it to my Ford 800 I find the Massey to be worlds and worlds ahead of the Ford. Of course Ford was building low cost economy tractors in those days, so it sort of figures the Massey would be a cut above. Both are good rigs, but the Massey is much more refined. And these souls I see bad mouthing the Continental engine have obviously never been around one. VERY nice for a gas engine.
