Reading the post below regarding turning up the injection pump.
Back in the day, I gather one would turn up the JD 4020 or IH 856 so they could pull bigger ground engaging equipment, i.e. 5 vs 4 bottom plow.
Also, back in the day, a New Holland haybine model might require 35 hp minimum. Run it all day long with a MF 135 or Ford 3000 - no issues other than the #$%# cutter bar clogging or grass getting wrapped around the rollers -LOL! Now we've got these discbines and they are IMHO hp hogs. With aggressive fertilizer/lime programs, a well maintained field can yield a LOT of hay. So the old MF 135 or Ford 3000 now doesn't have the guts to pull a discbine. So - you turn to your old iron tractor that is XX hp. You need YY hp or more for the discbine. Pull out the tools and turn it up - just like the old days. The difference is now you're using the hp in front of a PTO - not a drawbar.
My question is - how are these PTO's holding up on old iron tractors with turned up engine hp? I got to believe if you're discbine is taxing your old 4020 or 856, some folks will draw out the tools and turn it up. Anyone busted or known of issues where someone busted their PTO driveline by turning up the injection pump for more hp?
I'm thinking the MFG's had a pretty good idea - back with the 4020's and 856 type tractors were designed that they would have the guts pulled out of them via a drawbar. Would it have crossed their design minds to make the PTO driveline/clutches extra stout too?

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
