One important tip about the PTO. The PTO lever has 3 positions, 540E - Neutral - 540. On these tractors, there is a spring actuated brake when the PTO is OFF.
This means that when you're trying to connect a PTO implement, like a brush cutter, you won't be able rotate the PTO shaft on the tractor by hand to help align the splines. So all you need to do is flip that PTO lever to Neutral and the shaft will then spin freely, which is an huge help to connect the implements.
