OK, this computer geek is somewhat of a newbie when it comes to tractors. I have been lurking for some time but want to make sure I understand PTO's. Can someone confirm/correct my statements below?
"Live" PTO: The PTO can be turning without the wheels going arround. Needed for something like a 3 pt chipper/shreader.
540/1000: Two common RPM's for PTO's. Orginal (old standard?) was 540, now some tractors come with PTO's that can shift up to 1000 RPM as well.
Two Stage Clutch: Not sure but some people say it is nice when mowing.
