PTO question

[garyf]

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read my question(s)
I may have the opportunity to purchase a B7200 4wheel drive CUT
it is not the hydrostatic model. It has a belly mower (60") that is non Kubota. I think it was a continental. It runs off a 180 degree shaft from the PTO to a gear box in the center of the deck then to the 3 blades via a heavy belt. There are no guage wheels and the raising and lowering is via the 3-point.
I have a couple older MF AG tractors 2 of them have a dual clutch one has independant PTO. Is the clutch on the B7200 single stage or dual do I need to clutch to get the PTO to run?...Gary

I have a B7200 hydro and it only has a single stage clutch and you have to push the clutch all the way in to engage the pto. I'm pretty sure that with a two stage clutch if you push the clutch pedal half way in the tractor will stop but the pto will keep running.

Thanks Dusty...I guess the hydros must have some type of independent PTO so that you don't have to clutch to engage the rear PTO. 2 of my MF's have dual clutch which works the way you say. I don't think this b7200 is for me...Gary
