The PTO is attached to the transmission. It is a gear drive that has a shaft to the hydraulic pump. One lever in the cab (or cable) engages and disengages the PTO. The other lever controls a hydraulic valve that is pressurized by the fluid coming from the pump. The valve for the wench is "open"...

Another consideration for me was if I want to add hydraulic accessories in the future I can do that with a PTO mounted pump, possibly a knuckle boom or lift of some sort. Depending on how you plan to use your truck in the future there are a ton of opportunities for upgrades available.
