Section 15
Field Preparation 15
HINIKER shredders are available with:
TWO DIFFERENT hitches (trail and 3 point) for all
widths. Upon choice of hitch, DETERMINE THE
TRACTOR’S PTO OUTPUT. This will be 1 of 2
choices:
1000 RPM
1 3/8”-21 spline
1000 RPM
1 3/4”-20 spline
All TRAILING UNITS use ONLY CV (constant
velocity) PTO’s. These are identified by ex
-
tended front yokes separated by a large guide
hub between them.
All 3 POINT UNITS use ONLY NON CV PTO’s.
These are identified by front yokes joined with
a conventional (simple) front cross.
IMPORTANT: IDENTIFY CORRECT SHRED-
DER PTO FOR TRACTOR USED BY CHECK-
ING FORWARD YOKE SPLINE AND NOTING
WHETHER IT IS A CV OR NON CV. FRONT AND
REAR CV PTO HALVES CAN BE SWAPPED IN
THE FIELD, IF THE PTO’S HAVE BLACK PLAS-
TIC SHIELDS.
See reference table, page 11 for identifying cor-
rect PTO.
All shredder PTO’s have similar sliding yoke cou-
plers at the tractor and gearbox ends. GEARBOX
ENDS ARE IDENTIFIED BY AN OVERRUNNING
CLUTCH (Item 1).
Clean gearbox spline of any encrusted dirt or
grease and lightly oil it. Slide outer PTO collar
(Item 2) toward its adjacent yoke (Item 3) and slide
PTO over the gearbox spline. Reverse the sliding
collar to lock the assemblies together.

NOTICE: TO FACILITATE PTO HOOK UPS,
CHECK TRACTOR SPLINE FOR BURRS, OR
OTHER DAMAGE. IF SHREDDER’S LOCKING
COLLAR IS DIFFICULT TO PROPERLY EN-
GAGE, CLEAN AND LIGHTLY OIL SPLINE.
The tractor PTO spline engages similar to above.
Slide outer collar (Item 1) toward its adjacent yoke
(Item 2) and slide PTO over the tractor spline. Re-
verse the sliding collar to lock the assemblies to-
gether.
