My TN90F New Holland mentions front PTO (and maybe mid?) in the manual, as I recall. It's an Italian made machine for vineyard/orchard use.
Your comment on fuel cost in Europe made me think. When we were there back in 1990, fuel on the road was sure as heck high, no question. But since a much higher % of the prices for fuel in E is tax (supposedly to tamp down excess use of almost exclusively imported fuel and pay for expensive road--mountains, tunnels, etc), is the cost of off road fuel in Europe as proportionately high? Especially given the European proclivity to subsidize farming activities.
Just something to consider, sorry to hijack your thread /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif (if someone has some info, they could start a separate one).
