    Unhooking pto with engine off?

    Earlier thread discussed hooking up pto shaft with engine off vs running. How many unhook pto with engine off? I do not shut off the engine. The potential risk (although nearly nonexistent) is the same with the engine running.

    JD 3 pt lift arms.

    Does anyone have this kind of lift arm for their JD. Would this be used in place of a quick hitch? Can different balls in the lift arm be used for cat I vs cat 0 or cat II?

    Center of gravity with FEL

    Does a FEL on a CUT lower the COG if FEL is lowered to near the ground with bucket? Is it better to mow hillsides with FEL and bucket on tractor than with FEL off? Could a bucket wider than the tires of a CUT help prevent a roll over if the bucket is near the ground?
