If it is a dual stage clutch, when you push in the clutch half way it will stop the tractor but your pto will still turn. Push the clutch totally in and it will stop the tractor and the pto.
Thanks, I thought that would be the answer, but the selection instructions in the manual state 'lift lockout latch and move lever to desired position'. If this was done with the engine running there would be trouble!! I always have to engage the PTO before starting the engine which seems to me to be savage on the starter.
