Attaching & Resizing PTO Shaft
Before installation/maintenance, the tractor and attachment should
be stationary with the ignition key removed. Ensure all safety guards
are in place and cover the PTO shaft when extended, ensure the
sprung locking collar slides freely and is securely in the groove on the
PTO. Always replace worn/damaged
PTO shafts.
Most PTO driven attachments are supplied with a standard size PTO shaft
which often requires resizing. Firstly, attach the rotovator to the tractor
without the PTO shaft, then raise the linkage so the PTO shaft is level/
horizontal. Measure the length between the tractor PTO and the
rotovator
’
s shaft. If the compressed (closed) PTO shaft length exceeds the
one measured here then the driveline will need to be cut.
