[QUOTE="Ploughteringindubs, post: 7748521, member: 116714"] hi what direction should front topper rotate? towards tractor throwing stuff behind or forwards? Its a blade topper that i have and when purchased it was used front mount on demonstration and the middle gearbox was just flipped with bung and breather reversed. Its just i find it seems to eat more pto bolts as currently throwing stuff back into what its taking in and making more work for itself. I also didnt quite appreciate how blocked the radiator grills would get. Its 2.9m slewtec thats has middle gearbox and two 90s with small pto shafts joining. These shafts have the slip clutches. Ive been having a think and wondered if it would work better reversing the gearbox back to rear mount direction then swapping the two pto shafts over side to side so slip clutches are reversed, thus chucking stuff out backwards under the chassis reducing its work load and reducing stew kicked up and covering grills. Either that or i will perhaps start looking for flail but not sure if they can go the same speed, 10-15kmph on front currently i think but sure covered more ground with it on back but then left wheel marks where it sprung up.
