Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft – Shorten
Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft length
NOTE: Do not shorten your new Power Take-Off (PTO)
shaft until you are certain that it is necessary. From the
factory the distance from PTO to Power Input Connection
(PIC) is standard on most tractor brands.
Check the length of the PTO shaft for each tractor prior to
first use.
If it is still necessary to shorten the PTO shaft, the profile
tubes of the PTO shaft must fully comply with the following
overlapping measures.
• The sliding tubes must have as much overlap as possi-
ble, with an acceptable minimum overlap (b) of 200 mm
( 7.87 in ) during normal operation (Top Safe extension
links in the normal position).
• There must be a minimum of
40 mm ( 1.6 in ) of free
PTO shaft length (a) to prevent the shaft from bottoming
out.

Determining the required shaft length
When you determine that you must shorten the PTO shaft,
select the length so that the telescoping members never
close completely or bottom out when in use. The PTO
length must never be smaller than the minimum distance
between the joints.
1. Attach the implement to the tractor without the PTO
shaft.
2. Adjust the three-point hitch so that the PTO shaft is
parallel with the ground.
3. Stop the tractor and engage the parking brake.
4. Determine if the PTO shaft bottom out in this position.
If the PTO shaft bottoms out in this position or if the
free length is less than
40 mm ( 1.6 in ), proceed with
the procedure to shorten the PTO shaft.
