Is a PTO the same as a hydraulic pump?

PTO transfers the power of the engine to a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump
produces a hydraulic oil flow and pressure.

A Power Take-Off, or PTO, gives a truck versatility beyond its usual function of providing
transportation for materials. It directs power to the auxiliary equipment to perform work at the
site and/or enroute. A PTO can eliminate the need for a second, or auxiliary, engine to power
the equipment.

A hydraulic pump performs two functions when it operates. Firstly, its mechanical action creates a
vacuum at the pump inlet, subsequently allowing atmospheric pressure to force liquid from the
reservoir and then pumping it through to the inlet line of the pump. Secondly, its mechanical action
delivers this liquid to the pump outlet and forces it into the hydraulic system.
