Figure 3.48 Measurements Between Drawbar and PTO Driveline
MEASUREMENT
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
If (A) is less than 14”
(35.6 cm) (C) will be
less than the recom-
mended
34-1/2” to 36-1/2”
(87.6 cm to 92.7 cm)
• The PTO driveline will bottom out
when auger is in raised position.
• This will cause damage to the
PTO driveline, the bearing, or
the boot housing.
• Pull out or lengthen the trac-
tor drawbar as needed to
make (C) 34-1/2” to 36-1/2”
(87.6 cm to 92.7 cm) when
the auger is in full down posi-
tion.
If (A) is more than 14”
(35.6 cm) (C) may be
more than the recom-
mended
34-1/2” to 36-1/2”
(87.6 cm to 92.7 cm)
• The PTO driveline will separate
from the auger in the lowered
position.
• This will cause damage to
equipment and/or injury to
personnel.
• Shorten distance (C) to the
recommended 34-1/2” to 36-
1/2” (87.6 cm to 92.7 cm) by
attaching hitch to tractor
drawbar at a point closer to
the tractor PTO shaft.
If (B) is more than 10”
(25.4 cm) (C) (between
tractor PTO shaft and
auger input shaft) short-
ens more quickly when
auger is being raised
• The u-joint angle on the PTO
driveline will be too severe in the
raised position.
• The PTO driveline will bottom out
before auger is fully raised.
• This will cause damage to the
PTO driveline, flight shaft,
bearing, and boot.
• Raise the tractor drawbar
until dimension (B) is within
the recommended 6” to 10”
(15.2 cm - 25.4 cm).
A: 14” (35.6 CM)
B: 6” - 10” (15.2 CM - 25.5 CM)
C: 34-1/2” - 36-1/2” (87.6 CM - 92.7 CM)
