[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 408418, member: 2862"] If you hook a 1000 RPM mower conditioner to a 540 RPM tractor, the mower is going to turn at approximately 1/2 the speed it was intended to spin at. You won't be happy with the results. I'm not aware of a single mower conditioner (except maybe newer discbines) that weren't available with either 540 or 1000 RPM drives. Before you buy a 1000 RPM mower, check with the manufacturer to find out how much it will cost to change it over to 540. Next question, are you sure your Kubota isn't interchangeable? I haven't seen many 95 HP tractors that didn't have both PTOs on them just by changing shafts. Rod [/QUOTE]
