[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1669038, member: 39018"] The larger HP tractors use 1000 rpm because of the higher torque output. The faster the shaft is spinning, the easier it is on the PTO shaft going to the implement. The slower it turns, the harder the torque is on the shaft. So they can get a more durable driveline with smaller diameter shaft than would be required for the same torque at a slower RPM. Sounds like the Kubota 540/1000 system is the same as what my Massey's have. Just have to change the output shaft at the back of the tractor... but the 1000 shaft DOES engage a different drive sprocket internally than the 540 shaft does. And it SHOULD be a simple switch, that can be done anytime. They don't build them as either 540 or 1000, they all have the drive sprockets for both inside... the difference is which shaft you ordered with the tractor. If you ask me, the dealer should have automatically just included both shafts with the tractor. So you just need to get the other shaft from your dealer... should cost about $100.... so it'll probably cost about $500! :) Should have made him throw in both shafts on the deal when you bought it! Next time, right? [/QUOTE]
