[AT] history of PTO's on tractors

[Jim Becker]

Yes, the International 8-16 was the first with an available PTO.  The 
tractor was introduced in 1917 with full production the next year.  The 
first with PTO installed were in 1919.  The first PTO driven implement was 
probably a binder and a mower was probably second.

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.
