PTO

The 540 RPM rear PTO makes operating implements such as a tiller, rotary cutter, finish mower and a multitude of other implements a simple task.

• An electro-hydraulic independent PTO is used on all models except for the 1523 gear and the 1528 gear tractors. The 1523 gear uses a transmission driven PTO while the 1528 gear uses a live PTO with a two stage clutch.

• Independent PTO
• Simply push and turn the yellow knob on the right side of the dash and the PTO will slowly engage.
• If the engagement is too aggressive the modulation button to the left of the PTO control can be pushed (light will come on to indicate engagement) which will make the PTO engage even slower (1533, 1540, 1547, 1552 & 1560 models only).
  o To turn the PTO off, simply push the yellow button/knob.

• A 2000 RPM mid PTO is standard on the 1523 HST, 1528 HST and 1531 models and is a dealer installed option on the other models (excluding the 1560) that can be used to power a mid mount mower or a front mounted rotary broom or snow blower.
