I am 78 yo, and it's nothing but amazing how a $6 can of spray lubricant can make it extremely easy and quick to connect a pto without spending $400

“I would rather keep skinning the hide off of my knuckles rather than buy these” said no sane tractor owner ever. Those are awesome! Thanks Martin

Thanks Martin for the video. Like others have commented I too am looking forward to your “side by side“ review. Your opinion matters to many of us “out here”.

Awesome video on an awesome product Martin. That's an excellent accessory for tractor owners, young or old with big or little tractors. Great job my friend. I think you might have found your niche in the market !! No matter how many times I hear you, I remain amazed at your professional delivery.

I purchased and am still using their original version. Much easier for this old guy to use. Never have had any issues.

Great review Martin

Wait. It gets MORE difficult as you get older?! That doesn’t seem possible. Nice review, Martin. 👍

I think these things are going to be more useful for us guys who are getting a bit older. lol Thanks Martin for the review. Have a good week! See ya!

It's hard for me to justify the cost, yet at some point that won't matter. I miss the pin style pto shaft locks. My rotory cutter has a collar and it's a bear to pull back and fight the shaft on. It's two hands just to get the collar back, otherwise it just goes sideways.

I'm totally impressed with the PTO quick link. So easy to install on my Kubota L4701 and Land Pride bush hog. Can be easily removed from both and re-installed on another tractor and appropriate implement. No modification of PTO shaft required for the bush hog. Since it's so easily transferred to other tractors and implements, I went ahead and got the HD (blue) like in the video. That pretty much will cover my bases if I want to use it on another HP tractor or implement. This PTO Quick link makes it SO much easier for those of us that have a quick hitch mounted, as those of us that do, know there's little room to move around and adjust between the QH and the PTO. What was a slow, contorted, struggle, can now be accomplished in less than a minute. IMO, the PTO quick link is a liftetime investment of use.

Hooking up is much easier than unhooking. Hard to push the collar and pull back at the same time.

I am 73 years old and connecting implements was getting harder and harder for me to accomplish. I bought a quick-link and now I can connect with ease. Great idea!

Beautiful view ⚘ ❣ have a great day ☕

I remember your first review (it was great, BTW), and now this (also excellent, of course). Like others have mentioned, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts as to the benefits and drawbacks of one unit over the other. You said you wanted us to tell our experiences with PTOs, so... The last time I changed implements the PTO hookup was pretty easy, barely an inconvenience. The time before that, it took me about 20 minutes and I was ready to get something like this!!! Like others have said, though, I've held off because of the cost. They're just SO expensive for those of us who putz around on our tractors in retirement, working small acreage. I guess when it gets bad enough (with spinal stenosis, that might be sooner than later!), I'll have to bite the bullet and get one. Thanks for the service you provide to us tractor owners/users!

Great video Martin 😁👍 I dislike putting on my PTO shaft but taking it off is really easy. This product will be on my wish list. Thanks for sharing and the video🚜💨🍳

Thanks for sharing, looking forward to a follow up after you use it for a while.

It can be a real nuisance hooking up PTO driven implements. I like the idea of this thing. When I'm hooking up my 6' Bush Hog it's a pain getting between the tractor and mower deck trying to work between the lift arms, and top link. What I've taken to doing is stopping the tractor about a foot or so away from the deck so i have a little more room to work, then when I have the spline engaged, I back the tractor up and hook up the three point. This PTO adaptor would make it even easier. I'll have to start saving my pennies, (nickels, dimes, and quarters) and get one of these.

Oh I thought this was the older video. This is a nice product, especially if you have a lot of trouble connecting the PTO. I'm okay for now, but I can tell that I may need something like this one day. Thanks for sharing, Martin!

I own this product and, at 74 years of age, making PTO connections was always a grief. Not so much anymore although it can get testy at minus 20C or so. As always, your videos are a great help. Thanks from Ottawa Ontario.

single female dairy goat farmer... thanks for making this... connecting the PTO shaft/collar is SO hard on my Kubota MX5400. Just ordered this. Hope this will make it easier!

Damn engineers. If they would start making things easy, we wouldn't have this problem.

My biggest complaint about hooking up things like rotary mowers is having to turn the drive shaft. It's hard to start turning, then once it is turning, it's got some inertia, so I end up overshooting the spline alignment. I think this PTO adapter would make it easier in some respects, but now instead of turning the drive shaft up to 60 degrees to get to the next alignment point, you'd have to turn it up to 90 degrees. However, the large window of the teardrop shape may make it easier to slide the spine shaft forward when it's aligned. And at least you don't have to fiddle with holding in the push-pin with your hands buried up under the PTO shaft shield.

Might be a good idea to use anti sieze. This looks like an excellent product. We use tillers in poultry houses so we have to unhook as soon as we are done or else the corrosive action of the litter will rust it all together. We also always pull the pto shafts apart when we are done. We have a HX15 batwing that we strictly abuse. I wonder if this would hold up to that.

I wish there was something for a mid-pto! Re-attaching my mid-mount mower is a pain in my bad shoulders😖

Good evening Sir, OUTSTANDING PTO items for sure Sir !!! Is their a way to extend the PTO protective cover over that genius PTO-Link ? Have a very nice week end Sir Cheers !!

I'll be placing my order today. My biggest issue wih my tractor is the d**m PTO shaft. Now that I have limited mobility it is even harder. Quick hitch and other nicities make working with the Kubota easy.

Whelp we WERE thinking about getting one for our Kubota L2501 'UNTIL' we saw the price..........Wife kyboshed that idea real quick!

I think I like it! And the price is reasonable. One question Martin…made in America using all American parts? Another outstanding review! You’re an absolute blessing to your viewers!

The PTO guard does not cover the link which could be a hazard.

Great video as always. I have been looking for a easier way to connect/disconnect my pto implements. The kicker for me is that these devices are SO expensive! As long as I CAN disconnect/connect my pto, I will avoid the cost. They are great products but unfortunately, the volume of demand keeps the price up.

A bit off topic Martin but, going through previous episodes, I’m wondering about your first aid kit on the tractor. I didn’t find one and I’m thinking, as much as you are out working alone…you should have a kit, with a tourniquet! Not that I’m having any foreboding dreams….but, I think we’d all sleep a little better knowing you’ve got one! 😁👊🏻

PTO hookup is rough because of my hands

👍👍👍

Martin...Hoping ya'll weathered the storm ok?

Another nice video. I just watched your pat's easy connect video which suggested the pto shaft may need lengthening, How much length does this add to the shaft? Will it work with the Pat's quick couplers without making the OTP shaft any longer? Thank you

I bought the PTO Connect version for my Kubota BX two years ago, and it has worked like a charm. How does this one compare to the PTO Connect design. One thing I like about the PTO Connect design is it is very simple to connect and disconnect. This one looks like it is easier to install on the tractor, but a bit more difficult to connect and disconnect the implement. Your thoughts?

Just got my PTO LINK yesterday… I was wondering if you shorten the PTO shaft or not? Seem like you have a Pat’s Easy Quick Hitch on your tractor.

Could you compare this pto link to the last pto hookup product you reviewed last year?

Did you end up doing a video comparing this and the PTO Connect? I'm semi-disabled (a chronic pain issue) and I've decided I need something like this. A straight-up comparison would be helpful. Right now I'm leaning towards the PTO link because I have a B2601 and the small size of their Compact version seems like an advantage. Also, I now have wood chipper envy! I spent a few hours yesterday shredding brush for my compost piles, using a standalone Champion 7 Hp chipper / shredder. It works, more or less, but your tractor-powered one does a much better job. Even with my small property (~1.3 acres) I may need to upgrade.

PTOs are a pain. I wonder if I could get by with the smallest one with a JD1025R?

Hello. Thank you for the videos. Out of the two quick connect pto companies that you reviewed. Which one do you recommend ?

I have this product but for me, it’s basically just a PTO extender which does help but I don’t use it the way they recommend to use it because it’s difficult to spin my larger implement pto shafts

I find it very difficult to connect my PTO shaft to my PTO when I am attaching my rotary tiller. The reason is due to the limited space between the tractor and tiller.

How much did they pay you for the review? Seems like you got a free $400 connector.

But... Which one do you think, is better? The one you reviewed a couple years ago, or this one..?

Our PTO's even new, kill my 58 year old arthritic hands!!............Turns into a swearing match trying to hook up the Brush Hog and or the Post Hole Digger.

I must be mentally challenged because I have been trying to install this dang thing for over an hour and no luck or maybe because I'm a 70yr. old woman & not strong enough😅. I bought the HD version&have a little JD 990 540 rpm 40.4 hp. I got the female end installed no problem then I attached male end & when I connect shaft the collar clicks but is not secure, maybe I got the wrong version? I called the customer service number and no answer. Maybe they are closed. Will try again tomorrow. Also it is a 6 spline, 3"

Hooking PTO shaft is not easy for an old man recovering from heart surgery! 😂

It is pretty obvious in the video, that you make it look like it is difficult to connect the pto without the adaptor.
