Standard PTO Shafts
A standard PTO shaft is highly versatile. You can use it for all kinds of machines. Choose the right length and coupling, and you'll likely be able to use it for multiple implements. These standard PTO shafts are affordable and available in many different lengths. We offer PTO shafts for 540 rpm and for 1000 rpm. This is clearly stated in the description of each shaft we offer.
Compatible machines and brands
Our PTO shafts are suitable for all brands of agricultural vehicles, including Fendt, John Deere, Case IH, Deutz, Massey Ferguson, Kubota, Claas, Hanomag, MB-Trac, and many more. The PTO shafts we sell are compatible with various types of equipment. Think of slurry mixers, ploughs, tillers, mowers, balers, feed mixers, potato harvesters, sprayers, seeders, and many similar machines.
What PTO shaft length do I need?
To determine the correct PTO shaft length, measure the distance in the retracted position. The length shown with our PTO shafts always refers to the retracted length. You can assume that the extended length will always be sufficient when using the right PTO shaft.
Which PTO shaft brands do you offer?
To keep our range clear but complete, we’ve selected several top brands. The most well-known brand in our assortment is Walterscheid. This brand offers something for everyone and is known for its excellent quality.

Bondioli-Pavesi is an Italian brand that has been producing PTO shafts for many years. These are solid products at a fair price, with precise finishing that ensures high quality. Rotaro is a relatively new brand with a modern, complete offering. These PTO shafts are high quality and known for their strong price-performance ratio.
How does a standard PTO shaft work?
A standard PTO shaft works via a driveline that is connected to the engine of the agricultural vehicle. The engine’s power is transferred through the PTO shaft to the attached machine. This power is then used to perform specific tasks – for example, to drive a slurry mixer that stirs the slurry using the tractor’s power.
What PTO connection type do I need?
There are many different types of connections. First, check whether both ends need to have the same connection type or if side A needs to differ from side B. For example, your vehicle may have a hexagonal profile, while the machine you want to drive has a 20-spline profile. Once you know that, you can determine the correct connections. Also check whether you need a quick-release or a push-pin connection. Then decide on a standard coupling, slip clutch, shear bolt clutch, or – in the case of an overrunning clutch – whether it should rotate left or right.
