So I am preparing for the new to me Massey mower conditioner and one of the things required is to change the PTO shaft around on my 2013 JD 6105E tractor from 540 to 1000rpm.Per the manual, I removed the keeper ring and pulled the shaft out, cleaned it up, and slid it back in with the 1000 sticking out. Re-installed the keeper. When I was putting the tractor in the shed, with no implement hooked to the PTO, I thought I would turn the PTO (electric switch) on to see how the speed read. In about 3 seconds or so a beeper started going off with an alarm symbol on the dash. The PTO light was out and it was not turning. I sbut it off and tried it again, with the same outcome. I then switched back to 540 and same thing.
I read the manual front to back and couldn't find anything on this, but I have a hunch that if the PTO shaft doesn't sense drag, it may just sound an alarm and shut itself off. I can't think that I ever engaged the PTO with nothing on the shaft. Does anyone know if this would be correct? Worried there is something wrong with the 1000 as I have never used it before, but 540 seemed to do the same. Any thoughts? Thanks
