In tractors we have PTO power and speed which is seperate from the Transmission speed that contolls the groung speed of the tractor.

Yes definitely. Engine power is transmitted to rear wheels through transmission. Also PTO (power take off) gets the power from the same engine and transmission. Normally pto is operated while the tractor is at stand still. Example pto is used to drive air compressors, water pumps, threashing machines etc.. If these accessories are used transmission speed never drops. When the tractor is moving and pto is in operation for some special application definitely transmission speed drops as both the operations share the engine power.

I have to find out what hydraulic oil/fluid is used for in a tractor? anyone any simple answers that i will understand? and what will happen if there is no oil? what effect will this have on the tractor?

ok any quality tractor built since the 60’s has a dual hydrauli`c system.one system is used to lube the transmission and rear gears and pto thru shaft, the other is a pressure system with remote couplings for operating rams, and the 3 point lift and in most cases power steering and brakes.the trans sump is where the hydraulic systems oil is stored.the case 7140 holds well over 20 gallons.they will have a steel manifold that has lube lines that actually bathe gears in the oil.also the clutches are hydraulic powered.old school ran a pump on the front of the engine with a seperate resevoir,but if the had a 3 point, they generally used tractor hyd. fluid, or universal goof froof.some heavy equipment actually uses motor oil in the hyd system,like the 9960 john deere cotton picker.

its a fairly newer song. i saw it on CMT, but didn’t get to see who made it. Its a music video with women dancing, and tractors. It looks like its a parade, on a bridge.
