Wiltec PTO Shaft T4 Drive Shaft 900-1170mm 460Nm 540rpm, 40kW (55hp), 2x 1 3/8" 6 Teeth Tractor Attach

A high-quality drive shaft is an essential component in agriculture, as it transmits the power of the tractor to various agricultural implements.

Whether you are operating a combine harvester, a thresher, a tedder, or other agricultural attachments such as forestry winches, field sprayers, wood splitters, band saws, circular saws, or fertilizer spreaders, our PTO shafts (from English "Power take-off") are suitable for all applications where a PTO serves as a power output. Our PTO shafts impress with high quality and durability. They are made from high-quality materials that remain reliable even under heavy loads and with intensive use. Additionally, we offer PTO shafts for different power ratings, so you can find the perfect model for your specific requirements.

The specified power ratings of the PTO shaft in kW (HP) and Nm refer to an average lifespan of about 1000 hours, taking into account the necessary lubrication intervals. Increasing the specified power reduces the lifespan of the drive shaft, while decreasing the power increases its lifespan. The mentioned power ratings are valid for a deflection angle of 5° at standard joints. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a larger PTO shaft than necessary, but never a smaller one.

How do I find the right PTO shaft? These factors should be considered when selecting to ensure it meets the requirements of your specific application:
– Power in kilowatts
– Speed in revolutions per minute – should match the speed of the implement (typically 540 RPM and 1000 RPM). Note: The power depends on the speed.
– Yoke type – The yoke (the fork head) is the part of the PTO shaft that connects to the implement.
– Length – Keep in mind that a shaft that is too short or too long can cause problems.
