Interesting. The owner's manual mentions both types (independent and NOT independent) so I'm thinking it was maybe an option? I think the one I have is NOT independent, but I'm not 1000% sure.TractorData shows it independent.

If I'm using my PTO auger, and I push in the clutch, the auger stops spinning.
Does that mean it's NOT independent?
Mine has the GST. Which I know means I don't need to use the normal clutch in order to shift, and you can totally feel the hydraulic clutch disengaging when you do that.

The owner's manual and parts list make it sound like the independent PTO is optional.
The hydraulic clutch is disengaged when the main gear select is in 'N', the shuttle is in 'N', or while shifting gears.Mine has the GST.

Just to clarify, in a GST the hydraulic clutch is for movement only, not for PTO operation.Mine has the GST.
