This sure is a confusing topic. :)

A Ford 960 has a live pto. It's a 2-stage type, you push the clutch down 1/2 way & can shift the tractor tranny, while the pto keeps running (assuming it's in gear). You push the clutch all the way down to engage the second clutch, and then you can shift the pto in or out of gear.

A Ford 950 will not have a live pto. It only has one clutch, when you push in the pedal both the tranny & the pto are stopped at the same time. This means if you are baling or blowing snow & come to a heavy swath, you push in the clutch to stop moving, and the pto implement stops as well. When you want to start up again, both the pto & the tranny start up at the same time as well. Doesn't matter too much for some operations, but is more difficult for the 2 items I mentioned. Also, you really, really want an over-running coupler, as a big heavy pto item such as a brush hog acts like a flywheel & keeps the tractor moving, even after you push the clutch in.

Note that the pto always runs at it's normal speed on a 950. Some tractors have a ground-speed pto setting, where different tranny gears will make the pto spin at different speeds - not the case in a 950.

There is another version of live pto called independent pto - the pto has it's own hand lever that can be turned off or on no matter _what_ you are doing with the tranny clutch pedal - the pto is toally independant of the tranny pto. The 100 series of Fords do not have this version of pto.

I have a 960 with Schwartz wide front end. Nice machine, lot of power in a small package.
