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 - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
