\"PTO<\/p>\n

The PTO shaft drives virtually every implement category in agricultural use \u2014 from compact tillers to large square balers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A PTO shaft is used to transmit engine power from a tractor to any implement that requires rotational drive. This covers the majority of powered agricultural implements: rotary tillers, mowers, balers, forage harvesters, spreaders, seeders, sprayers, irrigation pumps, and more. The PTO shaft is also used in construction (concrete mixers, auger drives), utilities (generators, hydraulic pumps), and some industrial applications. The standardised Z6 and Z20 spline interface means a single PTO shaft system connects all compatible equipment across all manufacturers. The T Series PTO Drive Shaft<\/a> covers the full range from compact 10 hp applications to 200 hp forage harvesters.<\/p>\n
