Low hrdraulic fluid

[Big Poppa]

Will low hrdraulic fluid keep the PTO from engauging?

Can't really say, but my hydrostatic drive (MF GC1715) actually has mechanical gearing/linkup through transaxle for PTO....

I guess that depends on your particular tractor. The PTO drive is generally gear driven even if you have a hydrostatic transmission. It may engage directly or via a solenoid or cable.

My hydrostat drive TC30 has a direct drive PTO.
