Tractors along with implements are used to prepare the soil. There are two broad classification in implements attached, one is passive or trailed implements and other one is active tilling implements which will take drive from engine through Power Take Off (PTO). The drivelines for transmission and PTO should have clutches to engage / disengage them from the engine while changing gears and switching PTO On/Off respectively. In present scenario, there are independent clutches for both drivelines to operate PTO driven implements without disrupting vehicle speed. In general, IPTO is being achieved by dry clutch which is integral with engine mounted clutch operated by separate linkages or by hydraulically operated wet clutch located in PTO driveline after auxiliary pump. An attempt is made with mechanically operated wet clutch in the PTO driveline to have an IPTO.
