PTO overunning clutch???

Anonymous-0 · Jul 2, 2010

Hey folks,

Sorry, I'm a little slow here. Question just crossed my mind.

While running my baler (and driving), when I'd hit the end of the windrow and push in the clutch to get ready to stop the tractor, it'd keep pushing along til the baler slowed down or I'd disengage the PTO. Would an overunning clutch adapter fix this problem? And, at the same time, let me use a normal (much cheaper) PTO shaft for my drum mower?

Thanks, Dave

Yes the pto over ride will stop the implement from pushing you forward. You may have to shorten the PTO shaft a few inches to take out what the over ride adds. TDF

Any small square baler I've seen has an over
running clutch built into the driveline.

Thanks for the productive input. Think it will do the same job as the built in ORC on my mower PTO shaft? The difference is 400+ bucks for a shaft w/ ORC and 55 bucks for a normal shaft assembly.

Thanks, Dave

"Think it will do the same job as the built in ORC on my mower PTO shaft?" Dave I am pretty sure it would. I would also think the drawbar on the tractor would need to be lengthened. The hitch pin hole should be fourteen inches from the end of the pto shaft. At least that is on all the equipment that I have.

No issue here. Thanks for the encouragement though. Can't wait for it to get here so I can order a shaft.

Thanks, Dave

In my limited knowledge I can't really say about yours. I'm not familiar with a built in ORC on your equipment. I just know mine keeps the mower from pushing me around when I want to stop. Wish I could be more helpful. I'm sure others will chime in with better advice. Regards, TDF

We'll find out.
The locals get a kick out of my American adaptations :roll: My Harbor Freight quick hitch is a big hit, 2 neighbors have them on their small tractors.

I will caution you by saying a lot of the overrunning clutches sold at places like TSC are light duty for serious PTO jobs. Be sure that what ever you get is up to whatever power is going through the driveline. I've seen them get mangled by 50 hp tractors running heavy balers and other implements.

I,m with the poster below. What kind of baler do you have. i have never been around a square baler that dit not have an overrunning clutch built in. Are you shure yours is not just frose up..Should be a set of dogs right behind the flywheel..If this was fixed you would not have your pushing problem.

Thats someting we just did was hit the clutch and either put the tranny in neutral or kick the pto out real fast as we didnt have live pto and such.

What kind of balers do they have over there? They all have built in over running dogs here in the 'States.

The answer to your question is tes: However balers esp do not like the pto angle that will greate. Of course, would have to see youtr baler, maybe it's set uyp different. But, on a normal USA baler they are pretty fussy about pin hole placement in relation to the first pto knuckle, so it could create some issues on a heavy load like a baler.

It's worth trying, but be prepared to troubleshoot follow-up issues with the baler.

The answer to your question is 'yes'.
