Yuk that means another space eater the condenser. By the way I looked into the telma and a used one goes for $2-3000 on ebay so I suspect a new one is $10,000. Jay Leno has a nice youtube about installing one on his fire truck, if he can afford it I know I can't.

I don't think you can run the PTO in gear at all if it is transmission driven
I have a Hino, and the transmission is an Allison, like a 1000 series but I have never actually looked (has a manual gearshift) and the PTO runs the hydraulic pump for the hook lift (dumpsters)
You cannot use the PTO in gear, huge warning saying no no... which being a dump lorry is sometimes a major pain in the ass unloading a skip on a hill. Engine driven
I can idle speed in gear and still use the controls, but that's it.... it has to be in neutral to spin up the motor to get good pressure and do it's work
