You'd have to be aware of the chit chat complaint thread to see why I said that.

Good Lord, I just found and read the 'Chit Chat' thread! (Why yes, I have been out of town for a few weeks. Lovely trip to the mainland to visit friends... but I digress... :laughing

I wouldn't want to be part of a site like that. Sometimes wandering a bit off topic sparks an idea or an explanation. Just like certain acronyms or terms that I'm either not familiar with OR that I am familiar with it but by a different term/word/acronym. For example: North American = "J-Cloth" / Aussie = "Chux".

(see how I craftily brought my post "back on subject"? JJ would be so proud! )

With this as your sig. (signature), My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

I'm not sure I'll take that was a compliment. :laughing:

It was a compliment......by the way....did I tell you that was a compliment?:laughing:

I will say that on in particular....PTO....is probably understood better by a newbie than what it actually means.

If you asked a newbie what a power-take-off was, I bet 99% of them would be clueless. But most would have a basic understanding if you just said PTO.

I'm thinking the same thing.... Actually how many of our tractors say PTO at the lever to engage it.... or say (Power Take Off ) Perhaps go and take a look at the feature labels and read if many are abbreviated or are completely spelled out , Come to think of it, some only have picture icons to represent what it is,

I don't know, but my loader actually does say "FEL250" on it

I pulled out my Operator's Manual and the only place that spells out "Power Take Off (PTO)" is in the index, under 'P', at the back. Under 'R' it goes back to referring to "Rear PTO".

Mind you, once I learnt what PTO and other common abreviations stood for, I haven't gone back to calling it the Power Take Off.
