PTO speed
4.2.2
If so required, a PTO speed of 750 or 1.000 rather than 540
rpm can be used. In that case another gear set than the one
listed in the output rate chart should be fitted.
Select the set that comes closest to the spinner disc speed
listed in the chart.
The chart below shows the spinner disc speeds for all
possible gear sets.

PTO speed 540 rpm
PTO speed 750 rpm
PTO speed 1000 rpm
Use the lowest speed possible for obtaining the required
working width. A higher speed increases wear and tear of the
drive and the spoons. Soft crop may be damaged as well.
Do not use a gear set which is not listed in the chart. Do not
allow the spinner disc speed to exceed 1059 rpm as a result of
an increased PTO speed.
If so required, a PTO speed of 750 or 1000 rpm can be used as
a means for saving fuel. This can be achieved by reducing the
motor speed until the PTO shaft turns 540 rpm
Example:
A PTO shaft turns 1000 rpm at a motor speed of 2100 rpm For
the PTO shaft to turn 540 rpm in the same gear position, the
motor speed should be:
