Figure 3.43 Measurements Between Drawbar and PTO Driveline
MEASUREMENT PROBLEM SOLUTION
If (A) is less than 14” (35.6
cm) (C) will be less than
the recommended 41”
(104.1 cm)
• The PTO driveline will bottom out
when auger is in raised position.
• This will cause damage to the
PTO driveline, the bearing, or
the boot housing.
• Pull out or lengthen the trac-
tor drawbar as needed to
make (C) 41” (104.1 cm)
when the auger is in full down
position.
If (A) is more than 14”
(35.6 cm) (C) may be
more than the recom-
mended 41” (104.1 cm)
• The PTO driveline will separate
from the auger in the lowered
position.
• This will cause damage to
equipment and/or injury to
personnel.
• Shorten distance (C) to the
recommended 41” (104.1 cm)
by attaching hitch to tractor
drawbar at a point closer to
the tractor PTO shaft.
If (B) is more than 10”
(25.4 cm) (C) (between
tractor PTO shaft and
auger input shaft) short-
ens more quickly when
auger is being raised
• The u-joint angle on the PTO
driveline will be too severe in the
raised position.
• The PTO driveline will bottom out
before auger is fully raised.
• This will cause damage to the
PTO driveline, flight shaft,
bearing, and boot.
• Raise the tractor drawbar
until dimension (B) is within
the recommended 6” to 10”
(15.2 cm - 25.4 cm).
