PTO uses aside from tractors
editI know that tractors are the most common usage of PTO, but what about mentioning the uses back in the days of Willys? I know I found a Jeep Gladiator with a PTO, I know the Unimog utilizes it as well, and I believe the "fire jeep", the American Marsh Pump Jeep CJ-2 (one of the first civilian jeeps, made in 1945) used some sort of PTO to power the pump.

Uses in Agriculture
editI think that uses of a PTO in agriculture should be included (especially since this article is part of the agriculture project...)
A few uses:
Blower for filling a silo (pushes corn/hay/whatever up a tube, in a nutshell)
Manure pit drainage
Operating field equipment for harvesting (corn, grass, whatever)
Running generators
Types
editShould a section about the different types of pto be added? (The types Im refering to are the types on a tractor. The types are: Transmission, Live, and Independent.)

Balancing link
editWhy is there a link to balancing machines? Balancing machines have nothing to do with PTO, they don't run off them and aren't used in anything directly related to PTOs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.153.97 (talk) 02:40, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Units in table
editCurrent the table for ISO 500 says:
| Type | RPM | Diameter | Splines |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 540 | 1+3⁄8 in or 35 mm | 6 straight |
| 2 | 1,000 | 1+3⁄8 in or 35 mm | 21 involute |
| 3 | 1,000 | 1+3⁄4 in or 44 mm | 20 involute |
| 4 | 1,300 | 57.5 millimetres (2.26 in) | 22 involute |
Are the diameters correct per ISO? Some work out to imperial measurements but the type 4 is just slightly off from 2 1/4 inches. The first 3 types e.g. {{convert|1+3/4|in|disp=or|abbr=on}} whereas type 4 uses {{convert|57.5|mm|in}}. —DIYeditor (talk) 12:47, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
