FSM PTO speed.
Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:46 pm
Another FSM question if I may;
I gather the older FM had a standard pto speed of 722 rpm's, and I gather also, that Canadian dealers fitted a revised PTO with an extra ratio that brought it down to the more common 540 rpm...as is was rattling the guts out of worn out Canadian equipment!
Can anyone tell me which is the standard PTO speed is for the Super major?
I have been using mine on a rotary rake, and it seems fast! and I really have to throttle back and use a high gear to prevent it bashing the hay too much.
Does it just "Seem" fast, or has it somehow escaped having the reduction done?
Thank you in advance!
