PTO Shaft Information

This implement is supplied with a PTO shaft.

A Power Take-Off (PTO) is a system found on most tractors that allows the engine’s power to be transferred to an attached implement or machine. It typically consists of a splined (grooved) shaft located at the rear of the tractor. When an implement - such as a mower, tiller, baler, or post-hole digger - is connected to the PTO, it can be powered directly by the tractor’s engine. This eliminates the need for a separate motor on the implement and makes it much easier to run a wide range of equipment using just the tractor. PTO's are a key feature in modern farming, enabling efficient and versatile operation of many essential tools. It’s important to follow all safety guidelines when using a PTO, as the rotating shaft can be dangerous if not handled properly.
