Front pto question

[Cmoran]

I’m wondering on a t7 new Holland does the front pto need high revs to achieve 1000rpm or is it constant from start up? It’s just my rear mower is 540rpm and I’m buying a t7 with front pto and was wondering if I could drive it in 540e

It will approximately be 2000 engine rpm for 1000front pto speed

We use a 1000rpm front topper with a 540rpm rear topper and there is no problem, just select standard 540rpm at the rear and both then work at the correct speed. Conversely with our front rake which has a gearbox that can deal with either input speed we use the 1000rpm input with a Welgar AP830 running on 540E so the rake runs at a gentle pace.

JD here & the std pto would have been 1000, 1000 eco & 540 eco.
I got 540 std instead of 1000 eco to do what you are wanting to do.

I better check the t7 has 540 before I buy

Would be best but could also change mower gearbox if stuck, pricey tho I'd imagine.

No it can’t be changed I’ve enquired with makers the 1000 rpm gearbox is mounted different

We've had t7's with 540 eco, 1000 and 1000 eco, some with 540, 540e and 1000, and now one with all 4 so definetely check whats on the tractor your looking at.
