I'll agree (not that anybody cares) with Richard for a preference to the electric PTO's..............with the exception of a tractor with a 59M Shredder mounted to it.

As Wes mentioned, the "mechanical" PTO is a much better set up for starting up that much mass as you can "feather" it in to get it going.

I guess I'm just not a fan of the mechanical PTO set ups because they have so many bits and pieces that can cause problems. Coil springs, bolts, nuts, (ever have one of those back off while using an implement?) torsion spring(s), fingers, wear buttons, and lets not even talk about rusted allen-head screws. Ugh!

As Denny says, nothing wrong with a good healthy debate. Except when we discuss the "perfect" cub, then that picture guy gets all "uppity" about those @#$%^&* SLANTY GRILLS.
