hydraulic drive versus pto

I have a parker that is all hydraulic. It is easy to change back and forth. I have it on my 8770 for the same reason, no pto. My book says that pto is twice as fast. NOW, pto speed is. they say, 90 seconds to unload 650 bushel and hydraulic is 180 seconds. I know that in some conditions the other 90 secs will make a difference but in most conditions of crops they will keep up. Like they say in good corn forget it. They are so fast either way.
