TRIMMING THE PTO SHAFT
The wood chipper is shipped with a PTO shaft that can be fitted to most Category 1 tractors.
The PTO shaft may need to be trimmed depending on your tractor and configuration. Follow
the steps below to ensure the PTO shaft is correctly fitted to your tractor.
**
Note: the shear bolt end of the PTO shaft mounts to the tractor.**
1. Attach the wood chipper to the tractor’s 3-point hitch system. Do not install the PTO shaft.
2. Raise the wood chipper as high as the tractor’s 3-point hitch will allow. Note that the tractor
shaft and the wood chipper shaft will likely not align regardless of the vertical position of the
3-point hitch. This is normal.
3. Measure the straight-line distance between the locking grooves on the splined shafts of the
tractor and wood chipper (
