redhead 10 #1 Posted January 26, 2017 I have a 10H.P Kohler engine (RPM is sat at 3600) and when i engage the PTO with mower attach it will run ok for a couple of minuntes, then the RPM will start to die down and if you disengage the PTO it will pick RPM's back up but if you leave engaged it will kill the engine. Everything on mower is free and turns ok so what should i look for to get rid of this problem THANKS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,700 #2 Posted January 26, 2017 Does the engine governor seem to work OK when you load the engine (other than PTO...like going up a hill or hauling a load.) Does the hub of the PTO get hot after it runs for a few minutes?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,700 #4 Posted January 26, 2017 Another question...does the engine slow a lot when you engage the PTO initially??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 10,074 #5 Posted January 27, 2017 I always engage the PTO at a low rpm to save ware on the clutch disc. Just thought I would share that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
