PTO

[Sully1963]

I was using my RCR1260 today and went through a ditch. The cutter came off the quick hitch on one side. I caught it quickly and re-attached it. When I get up to 540 pm it now has a big vibration. I am curious if my pto is bent a bit. I was able to slide the shaft some but haven't tried pulling it clear apart. Anyone else have a similar incident?

Pull it and roll it on a flat surface.

Look at the blades under the mower to see if they are stuck or bent.
