TC33D - PTO engagement

[Tractor_Addict]

I just got through watching the John Deere, compact tractor, sales video. It showed a guy mowing on a 4400. When he drove over a driveway, he turned off the mower without clutching to disengage the mower PTO, and turned the mower back on without clutching to engage the PTO. Does that work the same way on the TC33D(hydro)? Does that go for both rear and mid PTOs?

No it does not work the same way on the TC33D hydro. I believe the JD has an electric pto clutch. On the NH TC33D you have to step on the clutch pedal to engage or disengage the rear or mid pto.
