[0020] Furthermore, the transmission component is a PTO clutch, the friction plate in the PTO clutch is fixedly connected to one end of the power input gear, and the housing in the PTO clutch is fixedly connected to the power output gear.
[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that during operation, hydraulic oil enters the inner cavity from the oil distribution pipe through the oil hole, pushes the PTO clutch piston forward, pushes the clutch friction plate to contact the power input gear, and then the PTO clutch rotates together with the power input gear, and drives the power output gear to rotate, and finally transmits the power to the power output shaft, realizing the transmission of power.
[0022] Furthermore, the friction plate in the PTO clutch is fixedly connected to one end of the power input gear via an external spline.

[0067] Example 10
[0068] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment also provides a tractor, including the integrated wet clutch structure described above.

It solves the problem of limited space in the structure and can borrow power from the wet clutch to provide power to the hydraulic pump. It shortens the hydraulic pipeline and can better realize hydraulic transmission, which is of great significance to the hydraulic system.
[0070] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0071] During operation, one end of the power input shaft 1 is connected to the flywheel end of the engine, the engine drives the power input shaft 1 to rotate, and the power input shaft 1 drives the aforementioned power input gear 2 to rotate;
