tractor pto spped for tractor

Anonymous-0 · May 15, 2014

hello i have a massey ferguson 1135 tractor with a
540 pto. i rebuilt an mf35 swather. i can't get the
knife speed fast enough to cut our hay field unless
the tractor is in low 1 and engine rpm is 2000. any
ideas to speed up pto to increase knife speed and tractor ground speed ?

Sounds like the swather is set for 1000 PTO RPM. 1000 PTO"s are meant for HP"s over 75 PTO. The 1135 might have an interchangeable shaft; but if so... the swather should have a 21 spline PTO shaft. If the tractor PTO is hydraulic driven; then it might be a hydraulic problem! I was loaned an 1135 20 years ago with 1000 PTO. I replaced the 6 spline with a 21 spline PTO on my bushhog & ran the tractor at around 55 - 60% engine RPM"s till the dealer rebuilt the engine on my JD 4430. The 1135 is really good tractor normally.
