POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) ASSEMBLY WITH A DISCONNECT CLUTCH

Systems and methods for a power take-off (PTO) assembly. The PTO assembly, in one example, couples to a shaft and is driven by rotation of the shaft. The PTO assembly includes a disconnect clutch that selectively couples a bi-directional pump to the shaft. The disconnect clutch is passively actuated based on hydraulic system pressure to disengage the disconnect clutch when a prime mover is in operation and engage the disconnect clutch when the prime mover is shut down.
