Title: PTO porn
Post by: suziequeue on November 20, 2013, 05:17:42 pm

We have just purchased a lovely mid-range Kubota tractor and are now indulging in a bit of PTO porn.


What's everybody's most essential PTO bit? I just have fantasies about a really good chain harrow!! Sad I know!

Just bought a used (Goldoni) 2-wheel tractor and have similar wet dreams of chain harrows. My favorite PTO-dream is one with a winch in it to wind up the electric fence (not sure, if that exists, but it sounds good).

a really good chain harrow

Er... I thought chain harrows attached to the 3 point hitch - well at least that's where we attach ours.

We use our PTO for fertiliser spreading and for making hay with the Haybob.

yes - I think my fantasy runs to anything that gets to go behind the tractor  ;)

Spreading fertiliser now takes minutes with a PTO spinner


As far as other stuff goes I have heavy duty pallet forks which will lift a tonne or carry 20 hurdles or lots of fence post etc etc.  Far more useful than a link box

i too am wondering how does  any chain harrow have anything to do with the PTO? i know a chap who used to be a dairy farmer and has a pto shaft sticking out the end wall of his milking parlor hooked up to a generator, this way he could hook up one of his 3 tractors for emergency power in the case of a power cut to keep milking! :D

we had a PTO 3 point linkage topper and the same mate has a fertilizer spreader run off pto and 3 point and he has all the hay making stuff etc
