Overview
Product Description
L1 is the entry point of the Ever-Power Drive Line L Series — a compact lemon tube cardan shaft built for 10–18 hp tractors and walk-behind power units where the triangular T Series profile is too large for the implement input housing. The lemon tube profile reduces the outer diameter of the telescoping assembly, allowing the L1 to fit within the tight housing clearances of compact seeders, vineyard tillers, and small rotary mowers that are incompatible with T1 geometry.
The 22×54 mm cross kit (code 1.01) delivers 210 Nm continuously at 540 rpm. Factory fill is EP2 lithium complex grease behind double-lip seals on each bearing cup — the same seal specification used across all seven L Series models. Grease nipple is accessible with the safety shield in place; no shield removal is required for routine lubrication. Sealed bearing life in compact tractor applications consistently exceeds 350 hours before cross-kit maintenance is required.
L1 is available in standard stock lengths for the most common compact tractor hitch-to-implement distances, with OEM custom lengths from 50 pieces at 25–30 days lead time. Full CE Declaration of Conformity, ISO 9001, and TS/16949 documentation ships with every batch. For the complete L Series range, see the L Series category page or contact Ever-Power Drive Line.

Key Features
Lemon Tube Profile — Compact OD
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.
Sealed Cross-Kit Bearings — IP67
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.
CE Safety Shield — Standard
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.
Forged 20CrMnTi Steel Yokes
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.
All Spline Standards Available
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.
CE + ISO Certification Package
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.
Typical Applications
Typical L1 application in 10–18 hp tractor class
Compact Rotary Tillers
The L1 is the standard choice for walk-behind rotary tillers and micro-tractor tillage units. Delivers 210 Nm continuously without the overweight bulk of larger series.
Garden Seeders
Single-row seeders on 10–15 hp tractors. Low starting torque and compact profile — the L1 lemon tube stays within the narrow centre-frame clearance of lightweight seeders.
Small Rotary Mowers
Compact 1.0–1.2 m rotary mowers for orchard and vineyard floor management. The 22×54 mm cross kit handles mowing duty cycles without maintenance intervention.
Installation and Maintenance
Attach safety chain to a fixed non-rotating point on both tractor and implement
Confirm Torque Class
Match implement demand (Nm) against the table above. Add 20% margin. Select the lowest L Series that meets the adjusted figure.
Adjust Working Length
Measure coupling centre distance with implement attached. Verify 50 mm min tube overlap at full extension, 80 mm at full compression.
Engage Yoke Connections
Push-pin yoke: engage at tractor PTO stub and confirm audible click and positive retention. Clamp yoke: torque to manufacturer specification.
Anchor Safety Chains
Connect tractor-side chain to guard or tractor frame; implement-side chain to implement body. Verify taut with implement at working level.
Grease Before First Use
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
- —L Series uses a lemon (elliptical) tube profile; T Series uses a triangular (trilobe) profile
- —The lemon tube outer diameter is smaller for the same torque class, fitting tighter implement input housings
- —Both series use the same cross-kit pin diameters where torque classes overlap — L1/T1 share the 22×54 mm cross kit
- —L Series is the preferred choice when the implement manual specifies a lemon profile tube
- —Yes — L1 and T1 share the same 22×54 mm cross-kit pin diameter and bearing cup dimensions
- —The cross kit is identical; the tube profile (lemon vs triangular) determines which yoke and tube combination is used
- —Order cross kits by series code (1.01) to ensure correct journal length
- —50 mm minimum overlap at full extension (implement at maximum height)
- —80 mm minimum engagement at full compression (implement fully lowered)
- —These values apply across all L Series models — same as T Series
- —L1 is rated at 172 Nm at 1,000 rpm — verify that the implement demand does not exceed this figure
- —At 1,000 rpm, cross-kit dynamic loads are higher than at 540 rpm for the same transmitted power
- —If the implement requires more than 172 Nm at 1,000 rpm, step up to L2 or L3
- —Standard: agricultural yellow (HDPE, UV-stabilised)
- —Alternative: black (same material, available as OEM option on 50+ piece orders)
- —Custom colour is available for OEM contracts above 200 pieces — specify RAL code at order
Customer Reviews

Paraná, Brazil — Compact Tractor Distributor
★★★★★
- Specified L1 on our compact tiller kits after an L1 prototype passed 400 hours without cross-kit maintenance
- The lemon tube fits the tiller gearbox housing without modification — the T1 required a spacer ring
- Documentation came complete and on time — INMETRO submission accepted without query
Helena V.
Montevideo, Uruguay — Agricultural Parts Importer
★★★★★
- Order of 80 units processed and shipped within the 7-day stock lead time
- All units inspected on arrival — dimensional tolerances consistent with the approved sample
- Will include L Series in our next catalogue alongside the T Series range
