[AT] history of PTO's on tractors .... when LIVE PTO

[Dean VP]

Herb,

In addition to your question when did LIVE PTO arrive and what tractor Manufacturer provided it.  I do believe there is a distinction needed to be made between INDEPENDENT LIVE PTO and LIVE PTO for the purists

When did PTO's  first appear on tractors? I assume sickle bar mowers was one of the first implements that PTO's appeared on? 

I use an Allis Chalmers  PTO powered four foot tiller behind my AC720 large lawn tractor; sure is a nice way to till our large vegetable garden.
