[AT] history of PTO's on tractors

[Dean Vinson]

I think PTOs were there from the start, at least in terms of general purpose gasoline-powered tractors.    My dad grew up with a Farmall F-20 that had rear PTO and a belt pulley, so I assume the original Farmall (later known as the “Regular”) had them also.

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.
