PTO uses aside from tractors
I 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
I 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
Should 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.) -User:Everysubjectman —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.197.48.83 (talk) 02:05, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Balancing link
Why 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
Current the table for ISO 500 says:

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.  whereas type 4 uses. —DIYeditor (talk) 12:47, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
