the shortest and longest distance between the chipper
rotor shaft and tractor PTO.
The PTO driveline has a maximum extension of 24.49”
3.
with a 6.43” overlap. This driveline will fit most models.
However, if your longest distance is greater than 24.49”,
you will need to purchase a longer PTO driveline.
The PTO driveline has a minimum compression of
4.
18.1”. If your shortest distance is less than this, cut it
to fit as explained in section 2.4.2.
