Question Power Take Off's

What are the PTO's on transmissions commonly used for? Is anyone on here using theirs for something? Just curious...

They're also used to drive a pump for a dump body hoist and for wreckers.

Although not that common I've seen PTOs off the transfer case that spin the same as ground speed used to power drive wheels on a trailer.
