Baling hay or blowing snow, if you get to a heavy spot that wants to stall the tractor or overload the implement, you can push in the clutch 1/2 way, & let the thick bunch clear out because the tractor stops moving, but the implement pto continues to have power.
Or you can shift the tractor into a different gear (slower or faster) while the implement continues to have power to it.
Or for a big heavy load like a brush hog, you can push in the clutch and stop the tractor from moving, while the big heavy flywheel load (hog) takes a long time to spin down. Without live pto, the rear wheels will continue to move while the hog spins down, because they are locked together by the non-live pto.
With the hog (or a tiller or baler or snowblower) in heavy grass (etc), you can put the pto in gear, spin up the implement, and then start moving the tractor, instead of putting both in gear & the tractor needs to start spinning the implement & moving forward at the same time.
