Round Baler PTO Question

Do you have to shut off the PTO when ejecting a round bale or no? If you have to disengage/disengage the PTO for every bale, is that hard on the PTO clutches? I realize the ground speed clutch is designed to be in/out as one frequently changes gears, but I would have thought the PTO clutch, live or independent, would be less robust in that once the PTO is on, one can run for hours before turning it off. Is PTO clutch replacement a frequent occurrence when making round bales?



Are there any 4x4 or 4x5 round balers that do not require turning off the the PTO when ejecting the round bale?



Thanks!

Bill
