My family got a bunch of tractors: a Deere 4720, a Kubota 5740 and 6060, a Kioti NX5510, and a New Holland TV140. Most of them are my dad’s, and a couple of them are mine.
Since the beginning I learn to run one, my dad always thought me that I had to slow the engine way down before turn on the PTO for any attached equipment, to avoid a big jolt that could break something.
Now I know that most of the tractors have a hydraulic PTO system, and it's totally fine to just flip the PTO switch no matter how fast the engine is running. all my tractors have hydrostatic transmissions.
Well, I've seen on the internet that people are using snow blowers backward, dragging the snow, and then just turning on the PTO full blast when they're in the clear.
What do you all think about this? Especially from tractor experts, like dealers or mechanics, who know about these specific tractor models.
