Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Power take-off (PTO) is a device that transfers an engine’s mechanical power to another piece of equipment. A PTO allows the hosting energy source to transmit power to additional equipment that does not have its own engine or motor. For example, a PTO can help run a jackhammer using a tractor’s engine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final drive is a gear reduction unit in the power trains between differentials and drive wheels. Final drive transmits the power finally to the rear axle and the wheels. The tractor rear wheels are not directly attached to the half shafts but the drive is taken through a pair of spur gears.

Detailed explanation-3: -Modern tractors use a power take-off (PTO) shaft to provide rotary power to machinery that may be stationary or pulled. The PTO shaft generally is at the rear of the tractor, and can be connected to an implement that is either towed by a drawbar or a three-point hitch.

Detailed explanation-4: -Power take-offs (PTOs) are an attachment connected to large vehicles (such as trucks, harvesters and tractors) as a power source for a range of accessories including mowers, wood chippers, water pumps, compressors, and a range of farm equipment like balers. PTOs convert the rotating engine power into hydraulic power.
