Patent attributes
A power take-off system for a vehicle is disclosed, including an input shaft, an output shaft, and a countershaft. The output shaft includes an engagement interface for rotationally fixed engagement with one of various implement shafts. The implement shafts extend outside the vehicle when engaged with the output shaft. A clutch device is configured to engage with one or more of the input shaft, the output shaft and the countershaft. In a first engagement position, the clutch device may cause transmission of rotational power from the input shaft to the output shaft via the clutch device. In a second engagement position, the clutch device may cause transmission of rotational power from the input shaft to the output shaft via the clutch device and the countershaft. In this way, both speeds appropriate for mechanical power transmission and speeds appropriate for electrical power generation may be obtained.
