[AT] Now: PTO to Trailer

[Tim Bivens]

Kevin,
I was referring to disengaging the clutch as a step to
trying to get the whole apparatus to a stop. You are
right that it would be hard to get it started out with
the clutch, PTO, Trailer combo due to the high gear
ratio. Don't konw how hard it would be to get PTO
engaged at speed though. Would definitely have to have
an overrun clutch. I am really intriqued by this idea
and might even try it. Just trying to get some input
on the dangers involved. 50 mph is twice as fast as I
would want to go on any NF tractor!
Thanks,
Tim
