The PTO (Power Take-Off) Shaft is an universal mechanical device created to transfer power from a tractor, or other engines to a variety of industrial and agricultural equipment like balers, mowers pumps, generators, and so on. It features a standard keyway or spline connection which connects to the output shaft of the tractor the other end of it has an yoke or coupling which connects to the input shaft of the equipment. Its 1 Series PTO shaft features an spline pattern of six that is suitable for the majority of tractors that have at least 20 horsepower and it is able to be able to handle a maximum that is 160 Newton meter. Also, it has an safety shield or guard that protects the rotating shaft to protect it from injuries or the possibility of entanglement.

#1 Series PTO Shaft Parts A shaft for the PTO 1 series usually comprises several components that function together to transfer energy from the tractor into the machine. These components comprise:

Tractor Yoke - The top of the PTO shaft that connects the output shaft of a tractor. It is usually an angled 6-spline design that fits the male shaft on the tractor's PTO.

PTO Shaft The primary part of the PTO shaft that transmits force from tractor onto the machine. It's usually hollow tube made of metal with a rotating inner shaft.

Implement Yoke – The end of the PTO shaft which connects to the implement's input shaft. It is usually a standard coupling or yoke that is in line with the specifications of the implement.

Safety Shield Protective covering which covers the spun PTO shaft to avoid accidents or the possibility of entanglement. It is usually constructed of plastic or metal and comes with a number of interlocking segments.

Bearings and Seals are small parts that help provide support and lubrication to the parts that rotate on PTO shafts. PTO shaft, decreasing wear and friction.

Fasteners - various bolts, nuts and washers that join the various components in the PTO shaft in place, ensuring an unbreakable and secure connection.
