At idle, engaging the PTO is no different than putting an automic transmission in drive. You feel it but there is no sudden jerk, just a smooth transition. My dad's 1967 Ford 4000 Row Crop has a hydraulic PTO that is not smooth. It just bangs into gear. However, non of the PTO implements we used were ever damaged from it. The B3030 is much smoother. Nothing to be concerned about at all IMHO. You get used to it.
