But yesterday.....when removing my rotary cutter.....I forgot to disconnect the PTO shaft. WTF....I know better than this. But.....I forgot....and so when I backed up to attach my box blade i heard a "snap". I did know enough to stop and investigate......and saw my busted drive-line. The 1/2 of the drive shaft was poking into the ground. Duh! Gonna cost me $150 or so to get fixed up.
I have hated the PTO coupler as long as I have owned this rig.....a Bush Hog Squealer 60" cutter. It has the type of PTO coupler that requires that you pull it back as you push it onto the PTO. What eningeer came up with this bullchit?....I'd like to give him a piece of my mind. So.....I suppose this is my opportunity to replace this crap with something that works better. (such as the cross-push-pin model that has worked for many years).
Nobody carries this kinda stuff around Brainerd....as "we are not in farm country".....according to my JD dealer. Gotta get over to Aitkin to get the right parts. I hate it when I break stuff.
Edit: On the bright side.....I didnt break the PTO shaft on my tractor. That WOULD be bad.
