IH674 PTO engagement

This is probably a dumb question, but I want to make sure. I'm looking to buy an IH674. Does the PTO on that tractor engage gradually? I currently have a JD 2010 and one thing I hate about it is the PTO is either on or off - it doesn't have any sort of clutch that allows it to engage slowly. I looked at the 674 and the PTO seems to work fine, but I didn't hook anything to it and the current owner has never used the PTO so he doesn't really know either.

Thanks.

No they are a hydraulic PTO and their pretty much either on or off. It was mostly the older tractors with the mechanical PTO's that you could slowly engage.
 
Hi Jason, they have a slow start position. From the OFF position of the lever there is a short slot, then a long slot to the ON position, the short slot is release the PTO brake to align PTO shaft with implement shaft and slow start. Only works if PTO lever is adjusted correctly. Sometimes the control cable from the lever down to the PTO valve on the MCV under your left foot will become rusty and will not operate properly. Work lever ON & OFF while lubing cable with your favorite penetrating oil.
