Operation - 25 Series Rotary Tiller
PTO Driveline Engagement Check
Stop the engine and leave the operator’s position. (See
“Leaving The Operator’s Position” on page 25.)
Make sure the PTO driveline and all rotating components
have come to a complete stop before exiting the compact
tractor.
1. Disconnect the PTO driveline from the tractor and
fully slide the driveline sections together (retracted).
Figure 13
2. Measure the retracted (compressed) length of the
PTO driveline between the bases of the plastic guards
[Figure 13].
3. Multiply the retracted driveline length by 1.667 to
determine the PTO driveline Maximum Operating
Length. (i.e.: 25.5 in. (647,7 mm) x 1.667= 42.5 in.
(1079,7 mm) Maximum Operating Length).
4. Attach the PTO driveline to the tractor PTO output
shaft.
5. Enter the operator’s position. (See “Entering The
Operator’s Position” on page 25.)
6. With the PTO driveline attached, position the three-
point implement to where the telescoping PTO
driveline is at its maximum operating extension.
7. Stop the engine and leave the operator’s position.
(See “Leaving The Operator’s Position” on page 25.)
Make sure the PTO driveline and all rotating
components have come to a complete stop before
leaving the operator’s position.

8. Measure the length of the PTO driveline between the
bases of the plastic shields [Figure 14] to determine
the maximum operating length.
A. If the measured maximum operating length is less
than the Maximum Operating Length calculation
(from Step 3), the PTO driveline has adequate
engagement
B. If the measured maximum operating length is equal
to or more than the Maximum Operating Length
calculation (from Step 3), the PTO driveline does not
have adequate engagement and should be replaced
with a longer driveline. See your Farm King dealer for
available PTO drivelines.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
• Do NOT exceed the rated implement PTO speed.
• Stay clear of rotating driveline.
• Keep bystanders away.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing and long hair away.
• Keep PTO shields and all guards in place.
• Disengage PTO, move the tractor controls to the
Neutral position, stop the engine and make sure
all rotating components are stopped before
leaving the operator’s position.
• Do NOT service the tractor or implement with
the PTO engaged.
• Do NOT service the implement in a raised
position unless properly blocked and with all
rotating components stopped.
• Disengage PTO for road travel.
