Abstract
A method for controlling PTO clutch engagement includes determining a first change in clutch speed based on an inertial load of a PTO implement. The method also includes determining a second change in clutch speed based on a threshold amount of energy of a PTO clutch. The method further includes determining a third change in clutch speed between the first change in clutch speed and the second change in clutch speed. The method also includes adjusting a clutch current based on the third change in clutch speed.
