This mod makes PTO speed dynamic by adapting the working speed of attached implements to the tractor’s current engine speed. Mowers, choppers, balers and conveyor belts operate according to the selected engine speed.
Features
- The PTO speed is calculated live from the engine speed.
- Implements react differently to low, medium and high engine speeds.
- A multiplier for each implement allows individual settings.
- Low engine speed results in slower operation.
- Medium engine speed results in normal operation.
- High engine speed results in faster operation.
- Mowers spin faster and respond more directly to the throttle.
- Choppers operate more powerfully at high engine speeds.
- Balers work faster and process material more quickly.
- Conveyor belts transport material depending on the engine speed.
- Each implement can be fine-tuned using its own factor.
- Complete mod structure with
modDescand Lua scripts. - Example implement XML with dynamic PTO configuration.
- Optional overlay displaying the current PTO RPM.
Technical implementation
- The mod is fully LS25-compatible and uses custom scripts to link engine speed, PTO speed and implement behavior.
- Animations, effects and working speed are adjusted dynamically.
- Both vehicles and implements are extended via hooks in their update functions.
V1.1.2.0
- 🆕 Newly Added Hand Throttle: Added a new hand throttle system for PTO control.
- The engine no longer automatically revs up to maximum speed when the PTO is engaged.
- Selecting 540 / 540E / 1000 / 1000E now sets the corresponding target PTO speed.

- The hand throttle can be enabled or disabled via: ESC → Settings → Hand Throttle.
