This allows the PTO to drive the brush hog but when you put in the clutch the brush hog spins but the ORC clicks and the PTO stays still. Hope that helps.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

They have them at this site, see the parts section and look under miscellaneous parts, then scroll down to PTO. Ask your local tractor dealer or whoever supplied the Hog...John   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Ya got to buy a tractor with this option built in. If you could invent a drop in live pto, or drop in power steering, you would be a millionaire. The only way to brushog without live pto is to think 50 feet head of the job, get the momentum going a minute before you start cutting thick stuff. Then, what Phil is talking about will help you stop safely- or safer... good luck, be careful.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

They run $50-80. Tractor Supply, Agri Supply, and others have them. The benefit is that when you depress the clutch, the bush hog does not continue to push the tractor through the drive train. Not sure what tractor you have, or if that helps answer your question.   [Reply]   [No Email]
