You are correct - not even dealers get it right. Don't believe what you hear from them either. Live (aka 2-stage) uses the foot pedal to control both clutches, so you can stop driving, change gears, etc. without affecting your pto operation. However to put the pto into gear you need to step the foot pedal all the way down, so this will affect the tranny of course. Independent has a completely seperate lever operating the pto clutch all by itself. It is totally seperate, or independent from, the tranny operation. you can shift either tranny or pto in or out of gear at any time without affecting the other one. Some independent ptos are operated by hydraulic pressure, and they can be more like a light switch - the pto is instant on, instant off (with pto brake) and are rather jerky & hard on the drive train parts. Older ones are just a rather long hand lever, & you can feather the pto on & off without the sudden jerk to the system. Wet & dry was well explained, only a difference of what envoirnment the pto clutch pac runs in. There are times I prefer the tractors with live (2 stage) pto over the independent ones, like for post hole diggers, sprayer operation, and other jobs. Tho an independent pto is generally a bit better overall. --->Paul
