PTO for a Disco?

[Hot_Stu]

Friends

Any advice on whether it is possible / viable to retrofit a PTO to a Disco 300 TDI?

Your thoughts appreciated

What are you hoping to run from it?

[Hot_Stu]

sprayer / mulcher etc ...save buying a tractor as well

Could those things be run of off hydraulics? Or use Quad bike type implements?

Are you chopping body work or just towing something behind?

[Hot_Stu]

for towing behind standard Disco for use in Equestrian paddocks.

We already have PTO driven equipment from the old yard, but unfortunately no vehicles with a PTO !!!

Knowing that some old series Landies had PTOI was wondering if the disco could be so equipped.

If not excuse to buy old tractor !

In reality an old tractor would be easier. There are a number of things that make it difficult on a disco, for one there is no provision for the shaft to get to the rear of the car.

An old tractor will also have a 3point linkage which you will probably need.

good point about the linkage

Many thanks all

just about any series can be fitted with a PTO as can just about any defender- although earler the better- in reality you could make a PTO fit a range rover/discovery chassis although you'd have to drill a couple of holes and would have some issues with fuel tanks (which you'd probably have to split into 2!)

Alternatively the PTO could run a hydraulic pump which could then run a motor out the back!
