As long as the baler has a working over running clutch I should not need an over running clutch on the tractors PTO, correct?

Hi,

IMHO one overrun clutch is enough.

Please make sure your pto is in perfect condition. I once had an shaft going defect while baking on our 5610. The parts came really close to the rear window. That would have been problematic on a major.

Please do not over rev your engine. Around 1150 rpm you have your 540 pto speed.

Agree 100%.

Thank you both.
Emiel thanks for mentioning the pto shaft condition as I've never given that a thought. It is in good condition with good universal joints, but I'll be sure to check them all.
