Overview
Product Description
L6 is the highest-torque model in the standard lemon tube series that shares the 30.2 mm cross-kit pin diameter with L5. The journal extension from 80 mm (L5) to 92 mm (L6) increases the bearing load distribution area and raises continuous torque from 590 Nm to 800 Nm at 540 rpm. For equipment specifiers, L6 is the last lemon tube option before stepping up to the wider 35 mm pin diameter of L32.
L6 is specified by several major European round baler and mower-conditioner OEMs as the standard shaft for their 55–70 hp models. These implement housings are designed for the lemon tube outer diameter and will not accommodate the equivalent T6 triangular tube without modification. If your implement manual or OEM parts book specifies series L6, do not substitute T6 — the tube outer diameters are not compatible at the implement input housing.
For distributors serving markets where European-specification compact balers and mower-conditioners are prevalent — southern Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile — L6 is a high-turnover stock item alongside T6. Both series ship with full CE, ISO 9001, and TS/16949 documentation. For volume pricing, 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 L6 application in 45–70 hp tractor class
Large Round Balers — 50–70 hp
High-density round baling where peak torques reach 1,450 Nm at eject. L6 handles this on 50–70 hp tractors with the lemon tube profile specified by major European round baler OEMs for their top-of-range compact models.
Mower-Conditioners
Disc mower-conditioners with high rotational inertia flywheels. The L6 overrunning clutch interface prevents back-drive from the flywheel when the tractor PTO is disengaged — critical for operator safety on this implement class.
Large Forage Wagons
Pick-up reel and auger drive on large forage wagons requiring sustained 600–800 Nm. L6 continuous rating covers full-load forage wagon operation in dense legume crops without requiring a heavy-duty L32 or T7 series.
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
- —T6 uses a triangular (trilobe) tube; L6 uses a lemon (elliptical) tube
- —Some European implement input housings are machined for the lemon tube outer profile
- —Fitting a T6 triangular tube in a lemon-tube housing creates mechanical interference
- —Always follow the implement manual’s series specification — do not substitute tube profiles
- —A shear bolt torque limiter or overrunning clutch is strongly recommended for baler applications
- —Set the limiter below the L6 peak of 1,450 Nm to protect both shaft and baler gearbox
- —Overrunning clutch is also recommended to prevent back-drive from the baler flywheel
- —Maximum continuous operating angle at each cardan joint: 25 degrees
- —Maximum momentary angle during implement turns (transport position): 45 degrees
- —Operating above 25 degrees continuously will accelerate cross-kit bearing wear
- —Wide-angle CV joints for the L6 lemon tube series are available as OEM custom options
- —CV joints allow operating angles up to 50 degrees at the tractor end
- —MOQ 20 pieces for CV joint variants; lead time 30–35 days
- —CE Declaration of Conformity per EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
- —ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certificate
- —TS/16949 process control certificate; SGS third-party inspection on request
- —LGPD data handling compliance documentation included with commercial invoice
