The fully independent PTO features multi-plate, bronze friction clutches for smooth, shock-free implement starting. The 250 comes standard with 540/1,000 dual speed PTO. The 280 comes with the 1,000-RPM PTO as standard equipment. The drawbars on the 250 and 280 are equipped with an auto hitch pin for hooking on other implements. When backing up the tractor to attach an implement, the implement hitch will contact the release strap and the pin then drops automatically in place. There is no need for the operator to get out of the cab or have a second operator. www.versatile-ag.ca
