An engine PTO runs off the engine thus the speed is governed by the speed of the engine. A ground PTO is ran from the rotation of the tires. Therefore the speed is governed by the speed of the rotation of the tires.
As engine rpm increases so does pto speeed And if you tach your motor to an excessive amount of RPMs while the PTO is engaged, it will destroy that PTO, leading to zero PTO RPMs.
To transfer power from the PTO or ETO (a PTO mounts to the transmission and is driven by the flywheel; an ETO runs off the engine crankshaft) usually to a hydraulic pump.
Farm tractors and some trucks and industrial engines can have a PTO or Power-Take-Off shaft that is used to power attachments such as sprayers, hydraulic pumps and, well, generators. The PTO is low speed, so a PTO generator usually has a gearbox to step the speed up to the RPM needed to turn a generator. PTO's are pretty standardized and use a short driveshaft to couple the tractors PTO to the attachment. PTO generators are used where remote power is needed and a PTO-equipped vehicle is available. It saves having to buy and maintain another engine.
66 PTO horsepower and 72 engine horsepower.
21 hp engine and 17 hp pto
If you're talking the engine operating RPMs, 1000... 540 is idle speed. It's stressful on the engine to operate a PTO at that speed, plus running that low forms a carbon ridge at the top of the cylinders.

Your mower has an electric PTO clutch that is worn out. It clutch stops working when it gets hot. Replace the PTO clutch and you should be fine. Expect to pay about $150 for the part.
There are 3 different grounds. Engine to body ground. Engine to frame ground. Engine to battery ground.
PTO means Professional Tryout!!!!
if you put a 540 adaptor onto a 1000 spd PTO of a tractor you must keep the engine rpm low enough so that it only turns at 540 PTO rpm some tractors have a selector lever for 540/1000 on some you must change the PTO shaft and it engages a different gear inside the tractor
