S Frisch - 10/28/2026 15:25 Agree you'll put more horses to the box with a tractor because a truck pto runs through the automatic transmission, and if it doesnt have a separate trans cooler it heats the engine way too much. Trucks are too much maintenance. Most big dairies are gone to triple screw with 250+ hp tractor It is not driven through the transmission. There is a hydraulic pump that sits in front of the motor, that has a driveline connected directly to the motor that runs the pump. That pump that runs a hydraulic that drives the gearboxes I wish I had the option of a pull type, but it is out of the question. Talked to some guys around here, and it seems Jaylor is what works for them
The front engine driven pump is far better in my opinion for high horsepower loads. Like on a concrete truck.......
