[AT] About "Live" PTO

[Paul Waugh]

Hi Ted

There are no dumb questions.  I won't state this quite right for some who 
can do a better job, but here goes.  A 'live' PTO, is a PTO not effected by 
the clutch for tractor gears, you push the clutch for gears in and PTO 
continues to run or stays 'alive'. One advantage is, if running a PTO driven 
implement, this implement won't 'drive' the tractor forward, such as a bush 
hog.  If running a bush hog, and you push the clutch in on a non live PTO, 
the bush hog with its momentum will continue to move the tractor.  I am sure 
you will get more and better explanations
