Front and rear power take-off shafts.
For many jobs, the mechanical implement drives have just the right output.
The Unimog has a whole range of them at the ready as optional extras: a front power take-off with a continuous output of 160 kW, while an engine power take-off and a transmission power take-off are also optionally available. The mechanical drive systems are great for jobs requiring a high output.
The engine-run PTO of the Unimog implement carrier drives the power hydraulics, but it can also be used to run powerful implements in combination with a hydrostatic drive. The transmission-run PTO with its standardised flange on the manual transmission also allows commercially available hydraulic pumps to operate cranes and elevating work platforms. Output speed and rotational direction are identical to engine speed and rotational direction.
