11. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a drive unit for producing torque, the drive unit including an output; a transmission including an input, a first output, and a second output, wherein the input is coupled to the output of the drive unit; a controller including a memory unit and a processor, the controller electrically coupled to the transmission; and a power take-off assembly coupled to the second output, the power take-off assembly including a clutch and a solenoid electrically coupled to the controller; wherein, a set of instructions is stored in the memory unit of the controller, the set of instructions being executable by the processor to receive a current input speed of the drive unit, compare the current input speed to a first threshold, determine if the current input speed is less than the first threshold, energize or de-energize the solenoid, and operably control an amount of hydraulic pressure applied to the clutch. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for controlling a hydraulically-controllable clutch of a power take-off assembly, comprising:
-
providing a drive unit, a transmission including an output, a speed sensor, a controller including a memory unit and a processor, an operator control switch, and the power take-off assembly including a clutch and a solenoid; storing a first threshold and a second threshold in the memory unit; determining a current input speed of the drive unit with the speed sensor; determining a load induced on the drive unit; comparing the current input speed to the first threshold; comparing the load to the second threshold; detecting if a signal indicative of enabling the power take-off assembly is received from the operator control switch; controlling an amount of hydraulic pressure supplied to the clutch; and engaging the clutch based on the amount of hydraulic pressure supplied thereto. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
