First of all JD and Cockshutt and maybe some of the others used the words "live" and "independent" interchangeably. That is why you are confused. You want proof? I have a brochure for the 30 describing the PTO as "live" when it does have its own clutch and is driven off the flywheel.
And on the custom cutting topic don't assume for a second that when I said Gleaners were popular among custom cutters back in the day I meant just the locals. The guy who used to cut for us was Forest Tupper of Tupper Harvesting based out of Kansas. He just died last year but started making the run in the 60s on Gleaners and ran them up till the 80s. He was still making the run each year up till last year. We used to be the last stop on Tupper's run. He would load up his M2s in our yard and head back down to KS. We also had another cutter out of Kansas cut our crop one year with a N7. And today we have 3 different main crews around here that are all based out of Kansas like Skinner and Farris. And there is usually another odd ball crew that shows up once here every year. All of these guys now run red or green but back in the day the Gleaners were a popular choice. And they are all out of the south and not some neighbor cutting another neighbor's crop like you said. Also Gleaner had an option the G that allowed the cab to be folded down for transport. It was aimed at the custom cutters.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
