Somewhere on the net (I can't remember) I read that in some other countries the ground speed PTO is used to power the axle on some types of pull type equipment. It gives a lot of extra traction doing so.

My Long and Farmtrac both have the feature. MF we had years ago had it also. If you ever get a post hole digger stuck in the ground the ground speed comes in handy. Just jack the tractor up and put it in reverse and back the auger out. I've also used it to clear a plug in a pull type AC combine, round baler and hay conditioner.

I bought a Hedlund-Martin manure spreader and use it to feed pellets to cows in the drought last year. I used the ground speed to make the machine turn slow. It worked like a charm putting the feed out. I did add an extension to the drop out so the pellets would fall past the spreader tires.
