Drive Shaft Tractor Part Agriculture Pto Shaft Tube

The Agricultural PTO (Power Take-Off) Shaft Tube is a critical driveline component that transfers power from a tractor to various farming implements. It is designed to handle high torque, rotational stress, and field conditions while maintaining durability and safety.

Key Features of PTO Shaft Tubes

1. Types of PTO Shaft Tubes

Round Tube–Most common, used in standard PTO shafts (e.g., for mowers, tillers).

Triangular Tube–Higher torsional rigidity, used in augers and conveyors.

Lemon (Oval) Tube–Prevents rotation slippage, ideal for high-torque, low-speed applications.

Hexagonal Tube–Best for extreme torque resistance (e.g., feed mixers, heavy-duty equipment).

2. Material & Construction

High-Strength Steel–Resists bending and wear.

Telescopic Design–Adjustable length for different machinery setups.

Safety Shielding–Protects operators from rotating parts (mandatory for compliance).

3. Connection Types

Spline Shaft (6/21 splines)–Standard for most tractors (1-3/8" or 1-3/4").

Shear Bolt/Slip Clutch–Prevents damage from overload.

Quick-Attach Yokes–For easy hookup to tractors and implements.

Common Applications

✔Hay & Forage Equipment (Balers, Mowers)

✔Tillage Implements (Rotary Tillers, Plows)

✔Grain Augers & Conveyors

✔Sprayers & Fertilizer Spreaders

✔Post-Hole Diggers & Feed Mixers
