    I'm suprised how well she managed that Dan! She must have some fair torque in her and why on earth did they only have a 1000 pto?!

    • @CowfarmerDan
      @CowfarmerDan  Před 4 lety

      My theory is they were 1000 rpm because that was the only way to make 100 series parts handle the power from the 6 cylinder engine.

    👍👌🇨🇦❤, please educate me on why you use a flsil mower and the benefits of using one, gr8 video

    • @CowfarmerDan
      @CowfarmerDan  Před 4 lety

      The benefit of a flail are it smashes the weeds up so the seeds die, if you just cut thistles with a normal mower the seeds can still be viable.

    Hi Dan nice video weren’t most tractors back in the day PTOs rated at a thousand? Nice to see old tractors at work .

      I thought the 1200 was one of the first tractors with an 1000rpm pto

      No, 540 was the norm then.

      @@CowfarmerDan Our 2wd 1100 bought new in 1969 had both 540rpm and 1000 rpm PTO and was supplied with 2 separate stub shafts, 1 6 spline for the 540 and 1 21 spline for the 1000

    Farmer Phil has a1200 he is looking for lift arm kit for it

  • @roberthiggins6401
    @roberthiggins6401 Před 4 lety

    Is it possible to convert it to 540 Dan? I know very little about the 1200 but presumed it's a case of changing the shaft but I'm guessing not?
    Could you do a talk about the controls and gears at some point?
    Take care

    • @CowfarmerDan
      @CowfarmerDan  Před 4 lety

      Theoretically could be converted but would be a massive job inside the gearbox underneath the cab.
      A few were fitted with external reduction gearboxes but they're pretty rare.

    The visibility must be terrible in that for looking behind

    • @CowfarmerDan
      @CowfarmerDan  Před 4 lety

      It's a long way back but not terrible, you can see both ends of the topper, you can't do that on a normal tractor.

    Hello Dan it has been a while since I have talk to you about my 1200 Do you have to engage the clutch to put the PTO in

    • @CowfarmerDan
      @CowfarmerDan  Před 4 lety

      No, it's independent so hydraulically engaged.
