The 149 has the small PTO pulley so if I went with the large PTO I'd need a larger pulley on the sickle. I don't have a PTO on the 1641 so just figured I'd look for one with a 4-1/2" to 5" pulley. Plan is that the 149 will be the tiller, the 1641 the sickle mower and the 71 can pull the plow or cultivator.
