Is My Yanmar
PTO Alive Or Dead?
There is a lot of confusion about what a Live PTO is and isn't. A live PTO, normally, has a 2 stage clutch. You can depress the clutch 1/2 way in and the transmission will stop but the PTO will continue to spin. If you depress the clutch all the way the PTO will stop also. This is very useful when mowing because you can stop, change gears, back up, etc while the mower continues to turn.
There are those that are making an argument that the PowerShift Yanmar transmission is the same as a live PTO because you can do all of those same things without using the clutch.
