Default Re: PTO Type Question

Very simple.

A constant running PTO or live PTO is the best. It allows you to stop the tractor without stopping what ever you have attached to the PTO.

A PTO if not constant running will both stop the tractor and implement when you stop the tractor. Also the inertisa from the implement, such as a bush hog, will push your tractor because it works directly off the transmission. A internal over run clutch allows the implement you have attached to the PTO to still turn while it is stopping but not push the tractor.

This is a very simple explaniation but I hope it helps.

If you can afford it buy a tractor with a constant running PTO.
