PTO Driveline Engagement Check
Stop the engine and leave the operator’s position
(see “Leaving The Operator’s Position” on page
24).
Make sure the PTO driveline and all rotating
components have come to a complete stop before
exiting the tractor.
1. Disconnect the PTO driveline from the tractor
and fully slide the driveline sections together
(retracted).
2. Measure the retracted (compressed) length
of the PTO driveline between the bases of the
plastic guards [Figure 24].
3. Multiply the retracted driveline length by 1.667
to determine the PTO driveline Maximum
Operating Length. (i.e.: 25.5 in. (647.7 mm)
x 1.667 = 42.5 in. (1079.7 mm) Maximum
Operating Length).
4. Attach the PTO driveline to the tractor PTO
output shaft.
5. Enter the operator’s position.
6. With the PTO driveline attached, position the
three-point implement to where the telescoping
PTO driveline is at its maximum operating
extension.
7. Stop the engine and leave the operator’s
position. Make sure the PTO driveline and all
rotating components have come to a complete
stop before leaving the operator’s position.
8. Measure the length of the PTO driveline
between the bases of the plastic shields to
determine the maximum operating length
[Figure 24].
If the measured maximum operating length is less
than the Maximum Operating Length calculation
(from Step 3), the PTO driveline has adequate
engagement
If the measured maximum operating length is
equal to or more than the Maximum Operating
Length calculation (from Step 3), the PTO driveline
does not have adequate engagement and should
be replaced with a longer driveline. See your Farm
King dealer for available PTO drivelines.
