starting straw bedder in 1000 pto

[Bossfarmer]

does anyone do this? i find it drinks half the fuel to put it in 1000 and just run it low revs, will it damage the machine starting it up in 1000 though?

Depends how much hp you're using and how savage the pto engagement is, I would think.

Tried it with 80hp a few times but after a couple of blockages when the tractor wasn't able to clear a lump going in, I decided it wasn't worth the bother.

Good in big sheds. Throws straw further.

I use 540 eco.

By luck we discovered the 1000 pto on our Ford 6810 will start our linkage mounted Teagle Tomahawk on straw as long as it is let down to the ground. Then the bale doesn’t lean on the blades quite so heavily.
540 eco best but this old trac doesn’t have it.

seems a bit sore on machine when starting up as need 10,000 revs to stop tractor stalling?

I use 1000 rpm pto, but have a hand clutch to start the machine.
Run at 1300/1400 engine rpm so 650/ 700ish on the pto. Teagle machine.
Hydraulic top link

Used to start ours in 540 then while it was spinning click it into 1000,modern tractors don’t let you though.

10,000 rpm probably a bit much.

This is the secret @Agri Spec Solicitor

Start with a VERY long top link, then pull it in short, to tilt the bale onto the cutting discs. Used to run one on a 50hp tractor just fine, but kept the weight off the blades until up to speed.

Might take off at 10,000!

I once wrote off a teagle bedder on 1000 pto speed. I'd been in it unblocking it using a loader tine. Forgot to take tines out, must have got lost in straw.

Was some bang when it went into fan.

Its trying to tell you that it shouldnt be used in 1000pto and for sure something will give at some point

 

[Chae1]

You could start it in 540, turn pto off shift to 1000 rpm and fire it up again?

We used to have to do that with grasshopper mower.

Or just run it in 540E, we run our bedder on this speed.
