PTO dyno's lug them down to get HP and torque values. So you engage the PTO, bring it up to max engine speed (about 2000rpm) then add resistance to the PTO shaft through the dyno.

No tractor pics at the moment as I'm now out working on the stuff i usually fix, sprayers.

Rear PTOs normally run at 540rpm or 1000rpm for smaller machines. Some like mine do both to be able to use different implement manufacturers. In Japan the rice paddy tractors run hugher speeds. 2,000 and 3,000rpm from memory. Not much torque at those speeds but they are tilling mud.

Think I'll keep my flail mower running at 540. Wouldn't find me within coo-ee if that focker was spinning at 2 or 3k.

They are scary! Even if it is mulching up mud and straw there is something unnerving about the gizzards spinning that fast.

Yep, about 1800 engine rpm is 1000/540 PTO rpm, depending on the shaft. When we rev them to 2000rpm (1100ish PTO) we find that we get close to max HP around that 1000 PTO rpm mark, but max torque around 800 PTO rpm.

Had a satisfying morning finding old survey marks by eyeing out a few fences and pacing out distances off the plan.

I would like to take this chance to commend @Haakon for his honesty and bravery in this photo. Despite knowing his hammer is a little small and unlikely to do the job, no matter how many times he tries to tap it in, he didn't hold back and still posted the nude wheel photo.

Also the admission that he will end up hammer that thing back together in a fit of Friday frustration filled rage is a step forward.

It does the job.
