Overview
Product Description
L5 is the lemon-tube equivalent of the T5 — same 30.2×80 mm cross kit, same 35 kW / 590 Nm at 540 rpm rating, but with the narrower lemon tube outer diameter that fits a range of European compact baler and mower-conditioner input housings where the T5 triangular tube creates interference. For equipment specifiers comparing L Series to T Series at this torque class, the selection criterion is purely the implement housing geometry: lemon tube for European OEM housings, triangular tube for generic South American applications.
The 30.2 mm cross-kit pin diameter in L5 is shared with L6 — the same bearing cup and needle roller dimensions apply across both series, though journal lengths differ (80 mm for L5, 92 mm for L6). This commonality reduces cross-kit inventory requirements for distributors stocking both models. Workshop tooling for 30.2 mm cross-kit removal and installation applies to L5, L6, T5, T6, and T7.
L5 is available in all standard stock lengths for 35–55 hp tractor-implement hitch configurations. For the complete series comparison including T5 and the full L Series range, see the L Series PTO Drive Shaft category.

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 L5 application in 35–55 hp tractor class
Rotary Mowers — 40–55 hp
High-cycle mowing on 40–55 hp tractors where the implement OEM specifies lemon tube over triangular. L5 is the lemon-profile equivalent of T5 — same 30.2×80 mm cross kit, same torque class, narrower tube for tighter housing clearances.
Mid-Size Round Balers
Round baler drive with overrunning clutch. 590 Nm continuous and 960 Nm peak covers the bale-eject surge on 40–50 hp baler combinations. Specified by several European compact baler OEMs as the required lemon-tube series.
Irrigation Pump Drives
PTO-driven centrifugal pumps on 40–55 hp tractors. Continuous duty with low shock loading — sealed L5 cross kits are ideal for prolonged running without maintenance access in field-deployed pump sets.
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
- —L5 and T5 use the same 30.2×80 mm cross kit and have the same torque ratings
- —The tube profile differs: L5 uses lemon (elliptical), T5 uses triangular (trilobe)
- —L5 tube outer diameter is smaller — fits implement housings where T5 creates interference
- —Select L5 when the implement manual specifies lemon tube; select T5 for triangular tube specification
- —Yes — shear bolt torque limiters are compatible with L5 splined yoke input
- —Set the release torque below the L5 peak of 960 Nm to protect the shaft and implement gearbox
- —Overrunning clutches are also compatible for back-drive prevention on baler applications
- —Yes — L5 and T5 share the identical 30.2×80 mm cross kit (code 5.01)
- —The cross kit is interchangeable; the tube and yoke components are not
- —Pump drives run continuously — use the 4-hour greasing interval, not the standard 8-hour
- —In high-temperature pump room environments, also check bearing cup temperatures; replace if unusually hot
- —EP2 lithium complex NLGI 2 grease is the required specification
- —Yes — 1-3/4 inch 20-spline (Z20) yokes are available for both ends
- —At 1,000 rpm, L5 rated torque is 510 Nm — verify implement demand against this figure
- —Specify Z20 at both ends when ordering; standard stock is Z6 (540 rpm)
