Many tractors over 65 hp will offer both. Above
150 hp they often only offer the 1000 rpm. Due
to the amount of hp needed to transfer, the
540 shaft will snap off.

IH got to using some very rare earth metals to
make their 540 pto stubs. Some of those big
grain augers (13 inch, 70-100 feet long) use
direct drive 540 pto - but they also need about
120 hp. A lot of broken pto stuff on those
deals....

Also some of the small compact tractors offer
both 540 & 1000 rpm on their 15-30 hp
tractors. Some of the small implements use
the higher speeds, then they can use cheaper
driveling parts.
