Live pto runs with the engine 540 rpm@ say 1700rpm  slower with less revs. Ground drive the pto rotates as the tractor moves, in proportion to the wheel revolutions

 Ground drive is now quite uncommon as tractor hp  and 4wd is normal.

I noticed a big difference in control between my former JD1026 which was hydrostatic and the Solis especially when flail mowing and I need to change into reverse but knew nothing of live/ground ptos.

Live pto is when you can dip the clutch to change gear without interrupting the pto. Not the case on the solis. 
 

why the heck did you change from a jd to this?? 3 speed box with f all overlap! Never fast or slow enough for the task in hand.

@doobin I was a partner in a ltd company that went into administration then liquidation.

My wife borrowed from family and registered her new arb business within days of liquidation being announced.

Mrs Lee bought back our older truck at auction but the JD, Ifor tipper, GM200 and 7t Iveco all well out of our price range.

A year later the Solis 26 is all we could justify given the limited use a tractor gets.

Half the price of a JD1026 and does much the same job but sadly with no cup holder but a crunching of gears to entertain me instead.

Before, I used the JD vastly more, ran a splitter and sold alot of chip and matured mulch from the yard, built a loading ramp for it.

We did landscaping and grass prep with a Rotadairon.

Hydrostatic control was important.

Now, the Solis mainly acts as a tow tug for the chipper, platform for the Uniforest and loading logs.

I spent 30k on a MultiOne and I still didn't get a cupholder!

Do you get cupholder with the new bobcat loaders

French Greenmechs have bottle holders.
