This will probably start an argument- but around here, "live" PTO means two-stage clutch (halfway in stops the tractor, all the way in stops the PTO- so you can depress clutch halfway when baler gets into heavy stuff to stop forward motion of tractor but leave PTO running to clear the machine). "Independent" PTO is a separate lever entirely- so operation of PTO is independent of the foot clutch. Most modern tractors (and old Olivers, Cockshutts, IH from early 60's, etc.) are independent- its a little easier to use, mainly because you don't have to overcome your tendency to "nail" the clutch to the floor(thereby shutting everything down and plugging the baler) in heavy going. Also, you can engage and disengage the PTO while you're underway, which is sometimes handy if you're travelling between windrows, around the ends of headlands while mowing, etc.
