As mentioned above, "ALL PTO"s on ALL tractors should be in NEUTRAL when not needed." So, keep the PTO SHIFT lever ("under the seat") in NEUTRAL when PTO is not needed. And, if your PTO CLUTCH lever is the type that has to be pulled up against a heavy spring load (RELEASE levers in the clutch pack) to DISENGAGE/RELEASE the CLUTCH, this lever must be kept in the DOWN, SPRING-UNLOADED, CLUTCH-ENGAGED position during operation to avoid major wear/damage/expense.
The 3-position (neutral, wheel speed, engine speed) PTO SHIFT lever you describe, is a nice feature, allowing you to let the PTO speed follow the wheel speed, when that would be to your advantage. Example: When spreading fertilizer, you stop to retrieve your wallet that you just spotted on the ground, or maybe just to shift gears. If you only had an engine speed PTO working position, you"d have to be awfully quick with the PTO CLUTCH lever or you"d have a heavy overdose of fertilizer in that spot where the tractor stopped but the PTO didn"t.
