New PTO
Choosing the right PTO for your wet line system will not only ensure you get the most out of your system but will also save you money in expensive repairs and downtime.
- Transmission and model:
It is important to know your transmission and model so we can
pair a
PTO that will not cause damage to your system. - Position:
Your transmission may have a specific aperture to accept a PTO. Know which
side
the PTO will be mounting to is important for the function of your system. - Rotation direction:
The direction of rotation in your PTO will influence the rotation of
other components in your system. Knowing the proper rotation will save you time and money. - Mounting face:
If the driven component is directly coupled to the PTO, what are the
mounting
surface requirements and what are the dimensions of the shaft for the PTO? - Engagement:
Constant drive, mechanical and clutch shift are the different types of
engagement your PTO may have. Constant drive PTOs are ideal for continuous duty applications. While
mechanical
and clutch shift PTOs are often used in systems where intermittent use is common.
