D10 Series 2 question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Might go look at a D10 series 2. Primary use would be to run a tiller. Is there any power director or live pto on them? I’ve only ever had D14s and larger.Is there any power factory three point well built?

Thank you

	About the only 3pt that is and good on any Allis Chalmers tractor before a D17 IV would be the OEM wishbone style that leaves the SnapCoupler intact and functional, then you'll need the top/center link connection for the rockshaft. Even the factory 3pt on on the D10/12 as well as anything prior to the D17 IV is only attached with a few bolts all in the same plane and will quickly loosen with even minor abuse. If this is not constantly addressed the holes in the transmission and lift housings can be destroyed. It may also just be my personal opinion that if you want to run a tiller, a D14 will be a better choice. You'll find out that low gear in a D10 II will be too fast for good results with a tiller. The D14 will have 8 speeds compared the the D10 II. The PTO drive in a D14 is much stronger, the D10 II has the PTO driven by a small set of splines in the flywheel which are easily destroyed and repair parts are nearly non existent.
	If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

	You may find 1st gear a little too fast depending on how careful/delicate of a job needs to be done for the rototilling/weed control….. Series II did have live PTO but had no PTO brake, meaning the pto still spins a little - even when off. The factory 3 points on the series II’s, weren’t terrible, but were no where near in league with the competition at the time. They are very light duty with no grease zerks Series 3 were a big step up - PTO brake, a improved 3-point that could be greased and a optional HI-LO in the transmission , that couldn’t be shifted on the go, but gave double the speed choices…….1st gear on a earlier d10/d12 vs. 1st in low range on a ser.III is a notable difference. The drawbar mounting bracket/yoke , I believe , was also changed to be more durable on a series III. Edited by JayD-17(NY) - 04 Jun 2026 at 11:03pm

	If it has the Hilo range transmission, ahead of the regular transmission, then it can handle a tiller. If it's just the 4 speed, its too fast for a tiller...

	I believe the high/low option was only available on the Series 3.
