Easy Connect PTO Adapter
If you’re a farmer and you hear the term “PTO,” you probably have a headache already. We know they are incredibly useful, and as farmers, we need them to get the job done, but connecting the implements can be a daunting task. What if I told you there is an easier way to connect the implements to the tractor? The Easy Connect PTO Adapter may be just what you need. Whether you are an expert with tractors or a first-timer, the PTO adapter will change your life.
What is a PTO Adapter?
To start, the term PTO stands for power takeoff. So, what that means is the PTO adapter is used to connect separate implements to your tractor, and it will use your tractor's engine to power whatever you connect to it.
Common Tractor Implements
o Woodchipper
o Rotary tiller
o Brush hog
o Finish Mower
While the PTO is innovative and useful, there are issues surrounding it. They are notoriously hard to connect and can cause you to get all scratched up and bruised. The problem is with the coupler that is attached to the PTO shaft, inside this coupler are six splines, these splines are about 3/8” apart. To connect the implement to the tractor, the operator needs to twist and push the coupler to get the splines inside to lineup with the splines on the PTO output shaft on the tractor, which proves to be a very difficult task.
The PTO Connect comes in the standard 1 3/8” 6 splines (540 RPM) to fit most implements and tractors. The Adapter contains two connectors, one connector for the tractor and another for the implement. The system prevents the need to twist the PTO shaft to line-up the splines when attaching the PTO implements. The sole reasons for this invention are ease of use and prevention of injuries to the operator.
To connect the adapters, all the operator needs to do is slide the tractor and implement connectors together then rotate the inner plate in the left or right direction to line up the splines. Our customers choose this system based on its capability to save operators time while switching between implements, increasing productivity, and reduce back injuries.
