I have a PTO driven and use to have a motor driven. I would go back to Motor for sure. The PTO driving is a pain.

J Bar L,
Those hay elevators that are engine driven are virtually indestructabe.....unless they fall off a semi, haha.

You might be able to find one in a farm sale this winter.  They are very simple to hook up to a gas Briggs & Stratton style engine with a small belt.  What state are you in, I will keep my eyes open for one.  We are still using the elevator portion that is from the WWII era.
