Finally, a use for that rear PTO
 

Somebody was talking about what to use a rear PTO for if they put it on a tractor.

I remembered the rig my brother in law built for feeding the cattle back in the 1950's.

He took a car (I think it was a Model A truck possibly) rear end, kept the transmission, and powered the transmission with the PTO!!

A four wheel drive rig!!

It went right through the cattle lot mud carrying a load of hay like it was a summer drought!!

All you would need is a trailer built out of a Cub Cadet differential, add a PTO shaft to power the transmission and go.

Now all Duke has to do is figure which shaft to power on the input of the transmission!!

Or maybe a Cub Cadet rear end with a plow on the sleeve hitch powered by the PTO. Four wheel drive plowing!! Then we would have fewer stuck tractor photos of Cub Cadets being rescued by Greene tractors!!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

You need to visit a doctor with a couch and get some help!

Yea, been sittin' around too much. I have wanted a rear PTO since 1982, I even tracked down a couple, but, I have never figured out a use for it!!:bigthink:

Maybe I will install 2 grain tanks so I can use the rear pto with an auger to transfer the corn between the two!!

That is as good of an idea as I can come up with.

The most popular thing is using them to make ice cream. I suggested to a guy once to use the rear pto for roisserie chicken and a pincor generator for smoothies! How cool could that be to have the cub make dinner and drinks!

Waiting on the install pics of the grain tanks! That would be so sweet!

You can't beat that, a Cub Cadet making ice cream. :biggrin2:

Not even roisserie chicken and smoothies?:bigthink:

If I get a rear PTO it would have to come with a PhD.
