Can't really say, but my hydrostatic drive (MF GC1715) actually has mechanical gearing/linkup through transaxle for PTO....

I guess that depends on your particular tractor. The PTO drive is generally gear driven even if you have a hydrostatic transmission. It may engage directly or via a solenoid or cable.
