Pickup trucks with ptos and drawbars

I had a Chevrolet 1 ton PU that I bought at a fertilizer equipment sale that had a PTO in the back .I don;t know what they used it for .
 
They work very well. The guy who does my difficult machine work has several. Cuts his grass with one, winch with A frame on the other end. Has a tiller that he uses every spring. Post hole auger works well. Always on the lookout for another body.

I've got Kaiser and AM General deuce-and-a-halfs. Live power available both ends. Had a guy here get excited about making hay with one, way cheaper than a tractor. Don't think he ever did.
 
But now they are doing the opposite way. Tractors made to run as fast as pickups on the road. JCB Fastrac comes to mind as I see many of them around here in Ohio now.
 
Jeep had this. I've always wanted it on another truck.

Call me a Hillbilly. I spray with the feed mills free to use ground driven sprayer. Pull it with my nice pickup in 4 low AC on recirculate. No fumes or headache and I listen to the radio. I also use my pickup to spread fertilizer with a ground driven spreader provided free by the same mill. Saves my back but is not quite as manuverable as the tractor rig. Yes I have a perfectly good tractor but this method really saves my back. Around here lots of people do this.
 
My neighbor has an old Chevy (76?) that he put a PTO on and he would haul the manure spreader out to the field and spread with it.
If you have the time and the money, anything can be built.

I had a 1974 Ford once that someone had put a PTO on. It's been 20 years ago, but the guy I bought it from used it to run a grain auger and some other stuff.
 
The elevator back home had a 66 Binder 3/4 ton with a PTO. They would pull a fertilizer spreader with it. The pto ran the fan and there was a ground driven drag chain to feed the fan.
