I'm not being contradictory, and I didn't jump your a$$.
Your statement was:

"Since they don't really do anything, do you put it in a tractor that you use regularly or something that sets around most of the time?"

I said that that wasn't true. They aren't "useless".
This second question was did IH build any attachments for them..... the answer is NO. Not specifically for the rear PTO on a CC. But.... there are several things that they can run. I'm not really sure how your were confused (offended) by my responses.......

The rear PTO is (basically) a 540 RPM. Ok, ok.... technically they run 515 RPM at WOT. I looked at the page in the book you are referring to. In the book, the specs for the front PTO are listed right above the specs for the rear. I'd say it was a misprint and that the listed speed of "engine speed" was meant to go under the specs for the front PTO. This should be a no brainer as, like Sam said, they run off the topshaft in the trans which is driven through the reduction gear. Simple math tells you they can't turn engine speed.
