thurlow: To answer this question I would say somewhere between 60 and 100 hp. I don't think there is any exact cutoff. Before the days of 60+ hp tractors I had little pto shaft problems. Ran the NH haybine and baler with 300, 560 and 656, and the tongues of both had the paint wore off both side from tire marks turning. After 1066 and 1000 rpm I had very little pto shaft problems. The broken U joints, telescopes, shafts, etc. around my shop came from 60 to 100 hp use of 540 pto.
