It is mounted to the top of an auxiliary transmission (also known as a brownie or joey box) and its vertical housing has earned it the name power tower. Unlike traditional transmission or engine mounted power take-offs the power tower can provide the engine's full rated power output. It is commonly used to drive large winches or hydraulic pumps. Unlike the power take-off of an agricultural tractor, the attachment of any device to the power tower is usually permanent.
