The PTO Shaft is a crucial component of New Holland BigBaler Square Balers models 330 and 340. This PTO shaft is designed to meet the demands of most tractors with 1.375-21 splines, and the input shaft is 1.750-6 splines. Other combinations are also available, providing flexibility for different tractor models.

PTO Shaft Assembly and Components

The PTO Shaft assembly consists of several main components such as the PTO Category / RPM, Tractor, and Part Number. These components are designed to work seamlessly together to provide efficient power transfer from the tractor to the PTO shaft-powered attachment.

PTO Shaft Yokes

PTO Shaft Yokes play an essential role in the PTO Shaft assembly. They feature a variety of diameters, numbers of splines, and bore measurements to provide optimal performance and durability.

Understanding the PTO Shaft

PTO, or Power Take-Off, shafts are crucial components that transfer power from the tractor to the PTO shaft-powered attachment. This process enables the tractor to power a variety of tractor implements, including flail mowers, wood chippers, rotary tillers, excavators, and more.

PTO Shaft Adapters

PTO Shaft Adapters are designed to avoid potential connectivity issues with your tractor. They extend the connection to the implement, providing additional space for the PTO shaft to turn without touching other parts of your tractor or the implement. This precautionary measure ensures compatibility with your particular tractor model and protects against potential damage.

PTO Shaft Parts

The PTO Shaft consists of several parts including the Internal Yoke, Universal Joint, External Yoke, Safety chain, and Safety Shield. Understanding these components and their functions is crucial for the proper use and maintenance of your PTO Shaft.

Three Main PTO Shaft Types

There are three main types of PTO shafts: Slip clutch PTO shaft, Shear pin PTO shaft, and Non-shear PTO shaft. Each type is designed for different applications and offers specific benefits.

Agricultural Equipment Used PTO Shaft

PTO Shafts are widely used in various agricultural equipment, such as wood chippers, hay balers, harvesters, forest machinery, and rotary tillers. They provide a reliable and efficient way to transfer power from the tractor to the equipment.

How to Determine PTO Shaft Size and Cut it to the Right Size?

Getting the right size for your PTO shaft is crucial for optimal performance and preventing potential damage. The size of the PTO shaft should have at least a one-third overlap between the shaft and the tube. If the shaft is too long, it could bottom out and create a conflict between the tractor and the shaft, causing damage to one or the other, or both.

How to Remove a PTO Shaft from a Tractor?

Removing a PTO shaft from a tractor requires careful attention to avoid potential damage. The process involves finding your part number, attaching parts of your shaft to your tractor and gearbox, measuring the distance between parts, determining how much you need to cut, and then cutting the shafts and shields to the correct length.

Use PTO Shaft Safety Tips

When using a PTO Shaft, safety should always be a priority. Always ensure the PTO shaft is disengaged before starting the power source and use extreme caution when operating equipment with a separable PTO shaft. Wear snug-fitting clothes when working around power shafts and avoid stepping over an operating PTO shaft.
