Dayton 1/2 HP Farm Duty Motor
This Dayton 6K714 motor delivers 1/2 horsepower at 1725 rpm for farm and industrial tasks. It operates on single-phase power with dual-voltage capability at 115 or 230 volts. The capacitor-start design provides high starting torque for demanding loads. A totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure protects internal components from dust and moisture.
Suits agricultural and workshop machinery
This motor fits equipment requiring a 1/2 HP single-phase drive with capacitor-start torque. Buyers needing three-phase power or higher horsepower ratings should look at alternative models. Applications demanding variable-speed control via VFD are not compatible with this fixed-speed design. The California Proposition 65 notice applies to this product.
1/2 HP capacity with dual-voltage headroom
The 1/2 HP rating comfortably handles typical farm duty loads such as conveyors, pumps, and compressors. Dual-voltage wiring at 115 or 230 volts provides installation flexibility across common supply circuits. The motor runs out of headroom when loads exceed the rated horsepower or require continuous operation beyond nameplate specifications.
Highlights
- High torque for demanding farm applications
- Capacitor start delivers strong starting torque
- TEFC enclosure protects against dust and moisture
- Dual voltage 115/230 V suits varied power supplies
- 1725 rpm speed matches common equipment requirements

Questions about this item
What single-phase voltage supply does the 115/230 V motor need to start?
The motor runs on single-phase 115 V or 230 V AC; wire it for the voltage you have available.
Will the 1725 rpm shaft speed match my existing 1725 rpm belt-driven equipment?
Yes, the 1725 rpm nameplate speed lines up with other 1725 rpm farm-duty motors, so pulley ratios stay the same.
How can I confirm the capacitor-start motor is producing rated torque after wiring?
Listen for the centrifugal switch click as speed builds; the motor should reach full 1725 rpm smoothly without humming or tripping the overload.
