"LIVE" means that it is engine driven, not driven from the transmission, and should have a separate, independant clutch. Transmission driven hydraulics or power take offs stop running whenever you depress the clutch, "Live" hydraulics and pto's work continuously whenever they are engaged, whether you clutch the tranny or not.

If you are operating a pto machine, like a brush cutter for example, under load, and you operate the clutch when making a turn or something, on a non-live pto tractor, the power operating the equipment ceases, which is a bad thing usually.

Hydraulics are also either "live" or transmission powered. The same problems apply. For example if you are using a loader, on a tractor equipped with non-live hydraulics (N series Fords don't even HAVE hydraulics of this sort) your loader stops working whenever you hit the clutch!

Of the tractors you mentioned, the NAA is the only one with any sort of possibility for live pto OR hydraulics,

If you simply must have a Ford, look for something more like a 641.
