Re: (ET) Elec-trak Digest, Vol 11, Issue 77

Actually that's an interesting question: Do people plug their tillers 
into the front PTO, or one mounted on the rear?

I use the front because I have the super-long-stock cable, and it is a 
PAIN! It goes under the brake, has to be zip-tied to the rear so it 
doesn't fall down, and so forth. I've thought since my batteries are all 
in the rear that I should just power it off the rear bus, but that would 
require another big contactor to turn on and off the rear PTO.
