How to Use the PTO

The drive shaft from the motor is connected to the PTO shaft; then a coupler attaches to the implement.

 

 
  • Disengage PTO and allow ALL rotating components to completely stop before connecting to disconnecting PTO implements.
  • Stay clear of rotating driveline. Always walk around tractors and implements instead of stepping over a rotating shaft!
  • Keep bystanders away. Do NOT allow any person to sit on or near the tractor when the PTO operating.
  • Keep hands, feet, clothing, and long hair away.
  • Keep PTO shields and all guards in place.
  • Do NOT exceed the rated implement PTO speed of 540rpm.
  • Do NOT service the tractor or implement with PTO engaged.

🎦 Check out a video about using the PTO!

The Power Take Off (PTO) shaft, or PTO clutch, transfers power from the tractor’s motor to the implements attached to the PTO. The Monarch Tractor MK-V PTO has a max speed of 540 rpm. The PTO has six splines with a 1 3/8-inch diameter.

You can watch the RPM of the PTO on the dashboard and Smart Screen as you increase the speed of the engine using the hand throttle. The yellow PTO switch is used to turn on and off the PTO.

Do not exceed the following capacities when attaching an implement to the Monarch Tractor:

  • 3-point hitch MAX lift: 1,650lbs (750 kg)
  • Drawbar MAX tow: 5,500lbs (2,500 kg)
  • Tongue MAX load: 1,100lbs (500 kg)

IMPORTANT: When towing an implement connected to the PTO, make sure to keep the tractor and implement on even ground. If the implement is being towed at an angle, uphill or downhill, there’s a risk of snapping off the PTO splines.

To connect an implement to the PTO:

  1. Power on the tractor and let it start up.
  2. Make sure the tractor is in neutral.
  3. Attach the implement to the 3-point hitch or the drawbar.
  4. Slide the PTO shaft onto the tractor PTO.
  5. Using the hand throttle and watching the dashboard, give the tractor some throttle. You’ll see the RPMs increase on the Dashboard.
  6. To start the PTO, grasp the black ring under the yellow PTO button, press the yellow button down against the black ring; then pull up both. Release your grasp.
  7. If the implement has a specified RPM, increase the hand throttle to the proper RPM. (Using the foot throttle to control the PTO is not recommended as the RPMs cannot be precisely controlled with the foot throttle while operating.)
  8. Operate the tractor and implement.

To disconnect an implement from the PTO:

  1. Lower the implement to the ground.
  2. Press down the yellow PTO switch. The PTO stops rotating.
  3. Power off the tractor.
  4. Slide the PTO shaft of the implement off the tractor’s PTO.
