possibly a 2nd Kubota for me... but 2 questions

1) does the PTO spin 'normal', aka like all new tractors ? I know there's an 'oddball' in the old Kubota lineup.

2) is the PTO 'live', aka with PTO engaged, push clutch in and PTO still spins ??

I can answer the first - yes it spins the correct way - the oddball was the B6000.

And if I had to guess - IF you push in the clutch, the PTO will stop spinning too.

Why is that an issue?

'cause I'm not about to drive 2 1/2 hours to find out the tractor does NOT have the 'live PTO' as advertised..... that'd be FIVE hours of my life gone for no good reason.
It's been advertised as having a LIVE PTO, which I thought to be wrong as very,very few tractors have them.

In the B series kubotas the only live pto you will find is the hydrostat models and that's only because you can do all your movements without pushing the clutch in. I cant specifically speak for newer models but i believe they are the same. None of the gear drives will have live pto
