PTO Trans accessory?
I'm building my wish list for a new 350 and wonder about the Transmission PTO provision. Can anyone tell me what the primary use for this is? In my old army days a PTO's only use was to operate a winch.
Thanks

I think that's still the primary use - for pole trucks, 4x4's, etc. But, there are many adapters for it such as hydraulic pumps and the like. Have you looked at the products lately? There's quite a selection for farm and ranch use - seed and fertilize distributing, etc.
If they install correctly it should not affect the tranny at all.

re-sale?
In this part of the country it sounds as if it might be a good thing to have to add value when re-sale times comes even if I never take advantage of having it. Thanks for the info and education.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. Awesome option though. I'm sure mine doesn't have it b/c I have an automatic tranny.

Check out this site for PTO drives: www.parker.com
I believe Ramsey made a PTO winch at one time. I think it would be neat to have a PTO post hole digger.

If you need PTO you don't have much choice. It's REALLY hard to cut the right hole in the case if you don't have it.

Go to www.muncie.com. They have alot of ideas and the pto's and pumps to do anything you need to do with your truck. The auto's have the option too, you just have to order them with it. It is just a gear in the trans. and a plate on the side. All of the trucks have the wiring and programming for the throttle advance and control and TC lockup. Also, check www.chelsea.com. They have the same things as muncie, just different company and brands of course.
