2. Raise the Chipper up until the Tractor PTO Shaft and Chipper PTO Shaft are
parallel with each other. Measure from the end of the Tractor PTO Shaft to
the end of the Chipper PTO Shaft and record this dimension in the “SHAFTS
LEVEL” row of the table above
(Figure 15).
3. Raise the Chipper up as far as it will go. Measure from the end of the Tractor
PTO Shaft to the end of the Chipper PTO Shaft and record this dimension in
the “FULLY RAISED” row of the table above
(Figure 16).
Note: If your longest measurement exceeds 32" you will require a longer PTO Shaft.
Do not proceed with installation until you have a longer PTO Shaft. If you
have any questions, please visit us at
www.DRpower.com or call 1-800-DR-
OWNER (376-9637) .
4. Take the shortest recorded measurement you wrote in the table and add 2".
5. Take that number and subtract it from 27" (overall compressed length of the
supplied PTO Shaft).
6. This final number is the length that you will need to cut off of the PTO Shaft
for it to fit properly to your Tractor.
EXAMPLE: Let’s assume the shortest center-to-center measurement in the
table is 22".

22 + 2 = 24 (step 4 above)

27 – 24 = 3 (step 5 above)

You would be required to cut 3" off both halves of the PTO Shaft and 3" off of
the Guard.
Note: If you end up with 0" or a negative number, then no changes are needed until
you reach a maximum long measurement of 32" as indicated on previous
page.
