Agricultural Complete Pto Shaft

The Agricultural Complete PTO Shaft (Power Take-Off Shaft) is a crucial driveline component used to transfer mechanical power from a tractor or engine to various agricultural implements, such as mowers, balers, tillers, sprayers, and more. It ensures efficient torque transmission while accommodating misalignment between the tractor and the attached equipment.

Key Features of a Complete PTO Shaft:

Telescopic Design–Allows length adjustment to fit different machinery setups.

Safety Guards–Protects against entanglement hazards (often removable for maintenance).

Universal Joints (U-Joints)–Permits angular movement and compensates for misalignment.

Shear Bolt or Slip Clutch–Prevents damage by disconnecting under excessive load.

Standardized Splines–Common sizes include 1-3/8" (6 or 21 splines) for compatibility with tractors and implements.

Quick-Attach Yokes–Simplifies connection to the tractor’s PTO stub.

Common Types:

Series 1 to Series 6–Varies in torque capacity (Series 4/5 for medium-duty, Series 6 for heavy-duty).

Eurocardan (European Style)–Often used in modern machinery with enhanced safety features.

Locking Mechanisms–Push-pull or collar-lock systems for secure attachment.

Applications:

Hay & Forage Equipment (Balers, Mowers)

Tillage Implements (Rotary Tillers, Plows)

Sprayers & Spreaders

Post-Hole Diggers & Augers
