Muncie Start from Muncie Power Products is a new power takeoff option that reduces startup torque for high-inertia loads, allowing for a smooth PTO engagement. The Muncie Start operates via modulation of the clutch, easing loads into engagement. It eliminates torque spikes through the PTO, truck drivetrain and mounted auxiliary equipment upon startup for increased life of the PTO and driven mechanical components. The PTO option also prevents engine stalls at low-engagement revolutions per minute. Muncie Start is suitable for applications such as blowers, vacuum pumps, water pumps, compressors and generators. 800-367-7867; www.munciepower.com.
