The original equipment is Walterscheid 2580. We can also make high-quality replacements for Walterscheid PTO shafts.

PEECON Feed Mixer Models

Most tractors use 1.750-20 splines and the input shaft on most models is 1.750-6 splines. While other combinations are available.

Due to the newer Tractors and PTO boxes being 100% positive, many Peecon owners and dealers have gone to using an overrunning device mounted to the mixer in order to negate inertial loads. Additionally, we have had numerous requests for a longer than standard PTO.

Overview of PTO Shaft for PEECON Vertical Feed Mixer 1100, 1300, 1500

The agricultural PTO shaft for the PEECON Vertical Feed Mixer models 1100, 1300, and 1500 is a critical component designed to transfer mechanical power from a tractor to the feed mixer. This durable and high-performance PTO shaft ensures efficient operation of the feed mixer, enabling the blending and processing of feed materials for livestock. It typically consists of a telescoping shaft, universal joints, and yokes that allow flexibility and smooth power transmission, even when the tractor and mixer are at varying angles during operation.

The PTO shaft is engineered to handle high torque and rotational speeds, ensuring consistent performance under heavy-duty conditions. It is often equipped with safety features like a shear bolt or slip clutch to protect both the tractor and the feed mixer from damage in case of overload or obstruction. Proper lubrication and maintenance are essential to prolong its lifespan.

Typical Applications of PTO Shaft for Vertical Feed Mixers

The PTO shaft for PEECON Vertical Feed Mixers, including models such as the 1100, 1300, and 1500, is a versatile and essential component used primarily in agricultural operations. It transfers mechanical power from a tractor to the feed mixer, enabling the efficient performance of various tasks related to livestock feeding and feed preparation. Its design allows it to accommodate the heavy-duty requirements of modern farming, making it indispensable for numerous applications.

One typical application of the PTO shaft is powering the mixing mechanism of the feed mixer. Vertical feed mixers are designed to blend different feed components such as silage, hay, grains, and supplements into a uniform mixture. The PTO shaft ensures a steady supply of rotational energy from the tractor, driving the augers or mixing blades inside the feed mixer. This uniform mixing is crucial for providing livestock with balanced nutrition, which directly impacts their health and productivity.

Another common use of the PTO shaft is in the chopping or cutting function of the feed mixer. Many vertical feed mixers are equipped with knives or cutting tools that reduce the size of coarse feed materials, such as hay bales or straw. The PTO shaft powers this cutting mechanism, ensuring efficient and precise size reduction, which improves the digestibility of the feed for livestock.

The PTO shaft also enables the discharge process of the feed mixer. Once the feed is blended, the rotational power provided by the PTO shaft drives the discharge system, such as an unloading auger or conveyor belt. This ensures the feed is delivered efficiently and evenly to feeding areas, saving time and labor for farmers.

Benefits of PTO Drive Shaft for Vertical Feed Mixers

Using a PTO drive shaft for vertical feed mixers offers several advantages that contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of feed mixing operations in agricultural settings:

1. Efficient Power Transfer: The PTO drive shaft enables seamless transfer of power from the tractor to the feed mixer, ensuring consistent and reliable performance. It minimizes energy loss during operation, allowing the mixer to process and blend feed effectively, even under heavy workloads or challenging field conditions.
2. Enhanced Flexibility: With its telescoping design and universal joints, the PTO shaft accommodates varying angles and distances between the tractor and feed mixer. This flexibility ensures smooth operation on uneven terrain or in tight spaces, making it suitable for diverse agricultural environments.
3. Durability and Longevity: Made from high-quality materials, PTO shafts are built to withstand demanding agricultural tasks. Their robust construction ensures resistance to wear, tear, and torque stress, providing a long-lasting solution that reduces downtime and maintenance costs for farmers.
4. Improved Feed Quality: By powering the feed mixer's augers and cutting mechanisms, the PTO shaft ensures uniform mixing and precise size reduction of feed materials. This results in well-prepared, nutritionally balanced feed that promotes better livestock health and productivity, ultimately benefiting the farm's overall output.
5. Safety Features: Many PTO shafts are equipped with safety mechanisms like shear bolts or slip clutches that prevent damage to the tractor and feed mixer in case of overload or obstructions. These features enhance operational safety and protect expensive equipment from costly repairs.
6. Time and Labor Efficiency: The PTO shaft enables the feed mixer to perform multiple functions—mixing, chopping, and discharging feed—in one operation. This reduces the time and manual labor required to prepare and distribute feed, streamlining farm operations and increasing productivity.

How to Choose the Right Tractor PTO Shaft for Vertical Feed Mixer?

Choosing the right tractor PTO shaft for a vertical feed mixer is essential to ensure smooth and efficient operation. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting the appropriate PTO shaft:

1. Determine the Required Shaft Length: Measure the distance between the tractor's PTO output and the feed mixer's input shaft to determine the correct shaft length. A PTO shaft that is too short or too long can cause operational issues, affecting power transfer efficiency and potentially damaging components.
2. Match the Horsepower and Torque Requirements: Select a PTO shaft that matches the horsepower and torque output of your tractor and the feed mixer's operational demands. An underpowered shaft may fail under heavy loads, while an overpowered shaft could lead to unnecessary expenses without added benefits.
3. Check Compatibility with PTO Speed (RPM): Ensure the PTO shaft is compatible with the operating speed of your tractor and feed mixer, typically 540 RPM or 1000 RPM. Using the wrong speed can result in poor performance, excessive wear, or even mechanical failure of the feed mixer.
4. Consider Safety Features: Look for PTO shafts with built-in safety features like shear bolts or slip clutches. These mechanisms protect both the tractor and feed mixer from damage caused by sudden overloads, ensuring safer and more reliable operation in demanding agricultural tasks.
5. Choose the Right Connection Type: Verify that the PTO shaft's yokes and splines match the tractor and feed mixer's connection points. Common options include 6-spline, 21-spline, or 1 3/8-inch diameter shafts. Improper connections can result in poor coupling and reduced efficiency.
6. Evaluate Build Quality and Materials: Opt for a PTO shaft made from high-quality, durable materials like heavy-duty steel. A well-constructed shaft resists wear, tear, and torque stress, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing maintenance costs, even in harsh agricultural environments.
