[AT] Now: PTO to Trailer

[Bill Boyd]

Also you would need to flip the rear end. I once used a car rear end 
hooked to my tractor PTO to run a screw type wood splitter (Stickler 
brand I think). I tried to drive the tractor with the PTO but with no 
weight on the rear end it just spun the tires in reverse.
