Statesville, NC | It depends on the horsepower of the tractor and size of the implement. Horsepower is a factor of torque multiplied by speed. With X amount of torque on the shaft, if it is turning 1000 rpm it is transmitting nearly double the horsepower of 540 rpm. 100 horsepower is about the practical limit for 540 rpm. On many implements where they offer both, the 1000 rpm drivelines are sized smaller, yet still transmit as much power as the 540 drivelines, because they are turning faster, and have more gear reduction at the implement gearbox. On a rotary cutter the blades will turn about the same speed, with either a 540 or 1000 driveline, because the gearboxes are geared different. What size tractor and cutter are you talking about, and what are you cutting? | |
