Other than the pump for a snow plow, what are some of the other things you have hooked up to your PTO?

Some large, older trucks had a PTO-operated winch. Also, many dump trucks use it for the hydraulic pump for the bed.

I don't have on myself but I've always wanted a PTO generator. I saw one online once but it was costly. It came with everything needed, from idle control to the nice pretty cover. I'd love to drive up to a work site and just plug things into an outlet in the bed.

Air compressor if you go off roading. You could run air tools on the trail. Or run air tools off of it if it's a work truck.

My friend used a PTO on a tractor to power a sound system and lights for a bush party.
