[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1669067, member: 39018"] True that it will only be spinning at 54%... but the DRIVELINE (PTO shaft of the implement) isn't designed to provide the torque required at only 54% of the rpm, so if you load the machine "to capacity"... even just capacity at 54% of 1000 rpm capacity, you'll end up over taxing your driveline, unless you underpower the unit. It's not just a matter of "going slower" or that it can't take in and process as much material. So in the end, if you power a 540 rpm designed machine with a 1000 rpm pto, you can slow down your throttle to about half, and it'll be just fine. But the other way around (drive a 1000 PTO designed machine with the shaft only turning at 540), with the same amount of HP, and you'll eventually run into trouble with the driveline. Probably twist it off, or take out u joints. Yup, noticed that this post was originally "old"... but sandhufarms restarted it. [/QUOTE]
