back40, The hours are light and possible. The 2020 is probably over 30 years old. At most it's only worked 80 hours a year. In human terms, that's only two weeks a year. I've got a '66 model 1020 with loader. She's just now approaching 2200 hours. For years, she's only worked hard 3 times a year -- mowing, raking, then baling hay on our 20 acres. The loader is great to fill the spreader with the gifts our four legged mowing critters leave. The clutch is the same in my machine as a 2020. Like you describe, half way down to change gears, all the way down to enable or disable the pto's -- front and / or rear. The two pto's work independently, that may be the source of the term. And as you know, you can sit, the machine out of gear, and run somthing like an auger with the pto -- live pto as I understand the word. Whatever the terminology, that's how they work. I wouldn't get too concerned about what word somebody uses. My guess is you're looking at a pretty good machine. Let me know if you decide against it, maybe my 1020 would like a brother. best of luck, Steve
