PTO stands for Power Take-Off in a tractor, a mechanical system that transfers engine power to operate various implements and attachments, such as mowers, tillers, and balers.
A Transmission Power Take-Off (PTO) is a type of PTO that draws power directly from the tractor's transmission, enabling it to operate various equipment like pumps, generators, and winches.
A two-stage clutch with live PTO lets you stop the tractor while keeping PTO-powered tools running, making it easy to switch equipment without turning off the tractor.
Independent PTO allows you to use PTO-driven equipment without engaging the tractor's main transmission, providing greater control and flexibility when using attachments.
Economy PTO is a tractor set that runs the PTO at a lower, fuel-saving speed while maintaining adequate power for light-duty equipment, improving efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.
Reverse PTO is a tractor feature that lets you operate PTO-powered tools in reverse gear, useful for tasks like backing up with a rotary tiller or mower while still using the equipment effectively.
