I remember as a kid reading about the first Ford Select-O-Speeds. I believe there was a way to use the transmissions output to the PTO. The PTO ratio then depended on the gear that the tractor was in. This was sort of a ground drive equivalent and the PTO speed was directly proportional to the ground speed. I'm not sure what that would be used for.
Dad had a Massey 175 that he farmed with for a few years that had a ground speed pto, said the main use he had was when he was picking peanuts, if he ever stopped up the picker, generally he could engage the ground drive and rock the slug loose. Could also be hooked up to meter out fert, insecticide, if you had the equipment. |
