Product Description<\/h2>\n

L2 steps up from L1 with a 23.8×61.3 mm cross kit delivering 280 Nm at 540 rpm and a 500 Nm peak \u2014 sufficient for rotary tiller start-up inertia peaks on tractors up to 25 hp. The lemon tube profile is retained at the same outer footprint as L1, making L2 the first choice for upgrades where L1 is failing prematurely under heavy-soil tilling conditions without requiring a larger implement input housing.<\/p>\n

The 23.8 mm cross-kit pin diameter is unique to L2 \u2014 it is not shared with any T Series model. This means L2 cross-kit replacement parts are ordered exclusively by the L2 series code. The bearing cup dimensions differ from both L1 (22 mm pin) and L3 (27 mm pin), and substitution of cross kits between these series is not possible even though all three use lemon tube profiles.<\/p>\n

L2 is stocked in the most common agricultural shaft lengths. For compact tractor OEM contracts \u2014 implement builders fitting the L2 as standard on 18\u201325 hp equipment \u2014 custom lengths are available from MOQ 50 pieces at 25\u201330 days lead time with full DWG review and first-article inspection. See the full range on the L Series product page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Key Features<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Lemon Tube Profile \u2014 Compact OD<\/p>\n

The lemon (elliptical) tube profile reduces the outer diameter of the telescoping assembly relative to triangular-tube T Series at the same torque class. Fits European OEM implement input housings that exclude triangular tube geometry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Sealed Cross-Kit Bearings \u2014 IP67<\/p>\n

Double-lip sealed needle-roller bearing cups, factory-filled with EP2 lithium complex grease. Grease nipple accessible with shield fitted. Designed for 350+ hours between maintenance interventions in normal field conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

CE Safety Shield \u2014 Standard<\/p>\n

CE-marked UV-stabilised HDPE bellows guard. Yellow for field visibility. Spring-clip anchors and chain points at both ends. OECD Code 4 compliant. Supplied as standard on every L Series unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Forged 20CrMnTi Steel Yokes<\/p>\n

Drop-forged chromium-manganese-titanium alloy steel, normalised and induction-hardened at bearing seat journals. Designed for high peak-load applications without premature bearing seat wear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

All Spline Standards Available<\/p>\n

1-3\/8 inch 6-spline (ISO 500 Z6), 1-3\/4 inch 20-spline (Z20), and 1-3\/8 inch 21-spline (Z21). Clamp yoke and push-pin locking both available. Both ends specified independently at order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

CE + ISO Certification Package<\/p>\n

CE Declaration of Conformity, ISO 9001:2015, TS\/16949 process certificate, and LGPD compliance documentation standard with every shipment. SGS third-party inspection available on contract orders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Typical Applications<\/h2>\n
\"L2<\/p>\n

Typical L2 application in 16\u201325 hp tractor class<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Rotary Tillers \u2014 16\u201325 hp<\/p>\n

L2 covers the common 1.2\u20131.4 m tiller range on compact utility tractors. The 23.8×61.3 mm cross kit handles the high-inertia start-up torque of tiller tine assemblies at 540 rpm without exceeding the lemon tube bending envelope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lawn and Paddock Mowers<\/p>\n

Finish mowers and rough-cut mowers up to 1.4 m. The L2 lemon tube stays within the mower deck shaft tunnel on compact OEM mower designs that the L3 triangular profile cannot enter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fertiliser Spreaders<\/p>\n

PTO-driven broadcast spreaders on 18\u201325 hp tractors. Moderate continuous torque, low shock loading \u2014 well within L2 rated capacity. Commonly fitted as OEM standard on compact European spreader brands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Installation and Maintenance<\/h2>\n
\"PTO<\/p>\n

Attach safety chain to a fixed non-rotating point on both tractor and implement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
1<\/div>\n

Confirm Torque Class<\/p>\n

Match implement demand (Nm) against the table above. Add 20% margin. Select the lowest L Series that meets the adjusted figure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
2<\/div>\n

Adjust Working Length<\/p>\n

Measure coupling centre distance with implement attached. Verify 50 mm min tube overlap at full extension, 80 mm at full compression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
3<\/div>\n

Engage Yoke Connections<\/p>\n

Push-pin yoke: engage at tractor PTO stub and confirm audible click and positive retention. Clamp yoke: torque to manufacturer specification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
4<\/div>\n

Anchor Safety Chains<\/p>\n

Connect tractor-side chain to guard or tractor frame; implement-side chain to implement body. Verify taut with implement at working level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
5<\/div>\n

Grease Before First Use<\/p>\n

Apply EP2 lithium complex NLGI 2 grease (2–3 pumps) to both cross-kit nipples. Service every 8 hours. Reduce to 4 hours in wet or abrasive conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
