    How many approximate RPM is the PTO shaft spinning during a normal pull in first gear at a given RPM?

    Are the PTO units geared 1:1? So it could be as simple as dividing RPM by the transmission gear ratio? (E.g., 2.5:1 first gear at 1000RPM would spin the shaft at 400RPM?)

    All the one's Ive come across are so yes divide by the tranny gear ratio.

    IMO, pto winches are the best. I use 1st for winching and then 3rd or 4th for winding in the cable at idle speed.
