3.17.2.1 Recommended rear power take-off shafts
Both power take-off (PTO) nominal speeds can be used regardless of the type of
shaft installed on the tractor.
Implements for 540 rpm (at engine speed of approximately 1890 rpm)
Normally a 6-spline shaft (optional) with a diameter of 35 mm is recommended.
The ISO norm does not limit the power of a 540-rpm 6-spline PTO shaft with a
diameter of 35 mm.
IMPORTANT: For power over 67 hp (50 kW), use a 1000-rpm output to ensure
the durability of the PTO shafts.
Implements for 1000 rpm (at engine speed of approximately 1900 rpm)
Normally a 21-spline shaft (optional) with a diameter of 35 mm is recommended.
Heavy use
Normally a 20-spline shaft with a diameter of 45 mm is recommended. If
necessary, a torque-limiting clutch with the maximum torque of 1000 Nm should
be used.
3.17.2.2 Activating rear power take-off
Before you can start the rear power take-off (PTO), you have to activate one of
the rear PTO speed ranges available in your tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum PTO speed of the implement defined
by the implement manufacturer.
