Tractor Pto Lemon Pipe

The Tractor Part Lemon Tube Agriculture PTO Shaft Tube (also called "lemon-shaped" or "oval tube" PTO shaft) is a specialized driveline component used in agricultural machinery. Its unique oval or flattened round (lemon-like) cross-section provides distinct advantages over traditional round or triangular PTO shafts, particularly in high-torque, low-speed applications.

Key Features of Lemon Tube PTO Shafts

Oval/Lemon-Shaped Profile

Flattened round tube (resembling a lemon in cross-section) offers higher torsional rigidity than standard round tubes.

Prevents rotational slippage while allowing slight flexibility.

Heavy-Duty Torque Transmission

Designed for low-speed, high-torque applications (e.g., grain augers, feed mixers).

Less prone to warping or twisting under load compared to round shafts.

Lightweight & Durable

Made from high-strength steel to withstand harsh farming conditions.

Hollow design reduces weight while maintaining strength.

Secure Connection

Fits into matching oval/lemon-shaped receivers, ensuring a non-slip connection.

Some models include shear pins or slip clutches for overload protection.

Common Applications

Grain Augers & Conveyors–Handles high torque without flexing.

Feed Mixers & Fertilizer Spreaders–Resistant to rotational stress.

Post-Hole Diggers & Heavy-Duty Implements–Where standard PTO shafts may fail
