Read articles →An owner-operator follow-up to another creator's B2401 geared-transmission video, this one zeroes in specifically on the PTO quirks unique to the geared model versus HST versions: why the single clutch cuts PTO power during shifts, the 2500 RPM/540 RPM relationship, and how gear selection limits your ground-speed options while mowing. Brief but focused; most useful for prospective B2401 buyers weighing the geared transmission trade-offs.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from personal use, who self-describes as an infrequent poster with no particular interest in growing a following.
The B2401 geared model has only one clutch, so pushing it in to shift also stops the tractor and cuts PTO power, unlike HST models or two-stage clutch tractors.
The PTO spins at 540 RPM when the engine is set at about 2500 RPM, regardless of which gear the transmission is in.
Not really. Each gear gives one fixed speed at 540 RPM PTO, so if a gear is too slow or fast you must lower engine RPM instead of changing gears.
No, the bush hog has enough momentum and a one-way clutch that lets it freewheel, so it keeps spinning even when the transmission momentarily stops.
