L5740 HSTC and JD model 390 Flail Mower

[Triplehits11]

Seeking advice, the Flail Mower does not have an overriding clutch in the gearbox nor on the PTO driveline, should I install an overriding clutch on the driveline. If so, would the type at the local farm supply store which attaches to the tractor PTO do the job? This is first time to use the mower and I don't want to damage the tractor or the mower.
Anyone have any recommendations?

I ran a JD 390 flail behind My 7060 Kubota for nearly 200 pto hours this summer and never any problems, am currently running JD MX6 bush hog behind it and no problems there either.

Cheers

Thanks for info. Roger, since I initially posted, I did some research and determined how to turn the tractor PTO by had to determine if it has an internal overriding clutch which most likely it does.
How do you like the 390 flail mower ?
thanks

You wont have to worry about and over riding clutch with a flail mower like you would a bush hog. Two different types of centrifugal force at work.

Meaning there's hardly any coming from a flail mower then a bush hog.
