???? about the 70 series PS.

[oldtanker]

I was told by someone that there were problems with using the the PTO with the PS in reverse. Anyone know anything about that? Was thinking a 70 series would be a nice tractor to own. I like the cab and I would want to use it in the winter with the snow blower.

Thanks

I think this question was asked and answered several months ago. What I remember was do not have the tractor in reverse if it is stationary and using the PTO. There is some sort of lubrication problem with it stopped and in reverse while using the PTO. If stopped put it in neutral.

For what its worth, I know my dad put many many hours on our 970 PS blowing snow. Never had any problems. SHON

Its not a problem having the pto engaged, it a problem with lack of lubrication. When a RPS is in reverse the RPS is spinning 4 times engine speed. The lube oil is thrown out of the planetery by centrifical force. You can run a snow blower you just need to stop and shift the RPS lever into first, let the planetary fill with oil again, and then start blowing snow again. They are not ideal on a snow blower but they will work if you are careful.
