In Reply to: PTO Shaft Question posted by YTSupport on November 17, 2018 at 09:46:41:
Several ideas here that are good. It is independent but I can't afford to destroy his PTO by having it driven by the chipper, even though it won't drive the tractor. Would be extremely expensive to repair. That was the thinking around the coupler.
The general consensus is to move it back. The layout of the thing doesn't lend itself to doing this easily, but the one idea about a long drawbar put me onto the thought of putting stabilizers on the side and just leaving it free of the tractor in operation, or maybe hook it to the drawbar while in use, backed off a bit, then a standard PTO shaft would be fine. I'd be a bit concerned about using it without stabilizers or a connection to the tractor, but that's easier to put together than fabricating a second outboard hitch. Still might do that though.
That comment on the Woodmaxx got me to looking. They sell a shaft for their units that is as short I need, even with a coupler on it. Ours are all much longer. But I'm warming up to the idea of operating it when not hooked up to the 3-point. I'll just have to come up with some brackets to attach it to the drawbar when using it.
Whatever the case, looks like I won't be using it this weekend.

Today's Featured Article - The Engine Rebuild Kit - by Curtis Von Fange. I always liked engine rebuild kits. They have all the replacement parts for overhauling an engine without going to the store to get gaskets, special measuring tools, or miscellaneous parts. They come neatly packaged, clean and tidy. But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
