Use it as a PTI (Power Take In). Add a real hydraulic pump to the engine, some hydraulic controls, and a Hydraulic rotor to the PTO. Result is a crawler gear with a variable rati= o, almost infinite low. Have been done to a couple of Land Rovers up here. Owners claim it works very well..... Cheers Runar.
