I am upgrading by BX25 which has an Independant PTO to the B2620 or B3200 which has a Live PTO. I know the difference in systems but am wonder if anyone who upgraded from a BX to a Live PTO notice a big inconviences. I really wanted a B2630 or B3030 (for the Independent PTO) but my dealer does not carry them. Thanks, Scott

I prefer the Independent PTO over the Live PTO, but on the HST models, it really isn't that big of a deal as you will seldom be using your clutch which interrupts the power to the PTO and transmission. Some people even like being able to hit the clutch and cut the PTO power if they get into some rocks/stumps etc.; I don't, but some do.
Either way, it would not be a deal breaker for me though my preference is for the 2630 and 3030 for the added size and position control 3-point hitch.

Does the BX25 have a two-stage clutch or a separate PTO-only clutch?
