Caract\u00e9ristiques de l'arbre de prise de force pour broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux John Deere<\/h2>\n

1. Precision-Machined 20CrMnTi Alloy Steel Construction<\/strong>
\nEvery PTO drive shaft begins as a 20CrMnTi alloy steel billet that undergoes carburizing and heat treatment to achieve a surface hardness of HRC 58-62 while retaining a tough, ductile core. This combination of hard surface and soft core maximizes fatigue resistance and torsional rigidity, enabling the shaft to transmit a rated 590 N\u00b7m of continuous torque without deformation or premature wear of the spline teeth or tube wall. The lemon-profile PTO shaft tube provides a self-centering, non-circular engagement that eliminates lateral play and reduces vibration at 1000 RPM operating speeds, ensuring smooth, quiet power delivery throughout the duty cycle.<\/p>\n

2. Dual Shear Bolt Overload Protection System<\/strong>
\nThe precisely engineered PTO shaft shear bolt overload protection hubs, located at the implement-side yoke, contain two M8 Grade 8.8 bolts per side that are calibrated to fracture cleanly at a predetermined torque threshold. When the John Deere 520 flail shredder strikes a buried rock, stump, or wire mass, the shear bolts break instantly, decoupling the driveline and absorbing the shock spike before it can propagate to the tractor gearbox or implement input shaft bearings. This sacrificial shear pin PTO shaft mechanism saves significantly more expensive drivetrain components from impact damage. Replacement bolts cost mere cents and take under five minutes to fit in the field, minimizing costly downtime during the working season.<\/p>\n

3. Heavy-Duty Sealed PTO Shaft Universal Joints<\/strong>
\nBoth PTO shaft u joints use 27 x 74.6 mm cross journals manufactured from case-hardened alloy steel, with four sealed needle-bearing cups pre-packed with high-temperature, extreme-pressure (EP) grease. Each PTO shaft universal joint is rated for continuous operation at articulation angles up to 25 degrees, enabling flexible power coupling on undulating terrain, slopes, and headland turns. Every cross kit is individually load-tested before assembly to verify consistent torque capacity across the full batch. The sealed lips prevent ingress of field dust and moisture, dramatically extending re-greasing intervals compared to unsealed equivalent cross kits from cheaper aftermarket suppliers.<\/p>\n

4. Precision Telescoping Tube for Flexible PTO Shaft Length<\/strong>
\nThe two-part telescoping PTO shaft tubing allows smooth length adjustment from approximately 870 mm compressed to 1,100 mm extended, accommodating the full range of drawbar-to-implement hitch distances encountered during John Deere 520 operation. The inner and outer lemon-profile tubes are machined to a sliding clearance of less than 0.15 mm, virtually eliminating the rattle and looseness typical of low-quality aftermarket shafts. A nylon bearing strip on the inner tube provides a low-friction sliding surface that prevents metal-to-metal contact wear. Custom PTO shaft dimensions and non-standard lengths are available from CMN Transmission for non-standard tractor-to-implement hitch geometries.<\/p>\n

5. CE-Compliant Full Conical Safety Guard and Chains<\/strong>
\nThe PTO shaft guard is a full conical injection-moulded thermoplastic enclosure meeting EU Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC and ASABE S203 safety standards. Two stainless-steel safety chains anchor the PTO shaft cover rigidly to the tractor rear frame and implement housing, keeping the guard stationary while the internal shaft rotates at full operating speed. This design prevents operator entanglement, satisfies statutory safety inspection requirements in most global agricultural jurisdictions, and provides a physical barrier against debris ejection toward the operator. The guard material is UV-stabilized for outdoor longevity and withstands the chemical and pressure-wash environments typical of agricultural use.<\/p>\n

6. Direct Replacement for Weasler and OEM PTO Shafts<\/strong>
\nCet arbre est un remplacement certifi\u00e9 des arbres de prise de force Weasler et est dimensionnellement compatible avec les \u00e9quivalents Bondioli et Pavesi. Aucun adaptateur, calage ou reper\u00e7age n'est n\u00e9cessaire. Les al\u00e9sages du joug de l'arbre de prise de force sont usin\u00e9s selon les tol\u00e9rances de cannelure ISO 500, garantissant un engagement s\u00fbr et sans jeu sur les prises de force de tracteur \u00e0 6 cannelures de 1-3\/8\u2033 et les arbres d'entr\u00e9e d'outils. CMN Transmission propose \u00e9galement une gamme de kits d'adaptation d'arbre de prise de force compatibles pour les utilisateurs de configurations de cannelures non standard, notamment 1-3\/4\u2033 \u00e0 20 cannelures pour les syst\u00e8mes de prise de force haute vitesse \u00e0 1\u00a0000 tr\/min. Cette gamme de produits unique couvre ainsi la plus large gamme possible de mod\u00e8les de tracteurs et d'applications de broyeurs \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux.<\/p>\n

\"Arbre<\/p>\n

Working Principle of the Flail Shredder PTO Shaft<\/h2>\n

1. Power Take-Off Output at the Tractor
\nLe cycle de transmission de puissance d\u00e9bute au niveau de l'arbre de prise de force (PDF) du tracteur, un arbre cannel\u00e9 situ\u00e9 \u00e0 l'arri\u00e8re du carter de transmission. Lorsque le levier d'engagement de la PDF est actionn\u00e9, le vilebrequin du moteur entra\u00eene un train d'engrenages r\u00e9ducteurs d\u00e9di\u00e9, situ\u00e9 \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur de la transmission, qui abaisse le r\u00e9gime moteur \u00e0 la valeur standard de 1\u00a0000 tr\/min au niveau de l'arbre de prise de force. Le joug de l'arbre de prise de force du tracteur, composant qui se fixe directement sur cet arbre, est usin\u00e9 avec un al\u00e9sage \u00e0 6 cannelures de 35 mm (1-3\/8\u2033) et se glisse sur l'arbre \u00e0 l'aide d'une goupille ou d'un collier de verrouillage qui emp\u00eache tout d\u00e9sengagement axial en fonctionnement.<\/p>\n

2. Torque Transmission Through the Universal Joint Assembly
\nFrom the tractor-side yoke, rotational energy passes through the first PTO shaft universal joint, which consists of a cross-shaped journal (27 x 74.6 mm) with four sealed needle-bearing cups pressed into the yoke ears. This U-joint design permits the shaft to operate through horizontal and vertical articulation angles up to 25 degrees, accommodating all relative movement between the tractor and the attached flail shredder as the assembly traverses headlands, slopes, and rough terrain. Without this flexible coupling, any geometric misalignment between the tractor PTO axis and the implement input axis would generate enormous bending forces that would fracture the driveline within minutes of operation.<\/p>\n

3. Telescoping Tube Extension and Retraction
\nApr\u00e8s avoir travers\u00e9 le premier joint de cardan, le couple se propage le long des sections int\u00e9rieure et ext\u00e9rieure du tube de l'arbre de prise de force. La section transversale en forme de citron cr\u00e9e un ajustement serr\u00e9 non circulaire qui transmet le couple nominal maximal tout en permettant aux deux sections du tube de coulisser axialement l'une contre l'autre. Lorsque l'attelage trois points du tracteur se l\u00e8ve et s'abaisse, ou lorsque le broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux pivote sur un terrain accident\u00e9, la distance g\u00e9om\u00e9trique entre l'arbre de prise de force du tracteur et l'arbre d'entr\u00e9e de l'outil varie continuellement pendant le fonctionnement. Le mouvement t\u00e9lescopique du tube de l'arbre de prise de force absorbe ces variations de longueur dynamiques de mani\u00e8re fluide et sans blocage, assurant ainsi une transmission de couple continue et sans vibrations dans toutes les positions de travail.<\/p>\n

4. Shear Bolt Overload Protection Engagement
\nLe moyeu de protection contre les surcharges de l'arbre de prise de force est int\u00e9gr\u00e9 \u00e0 l'ensemble de fourche c\u00f4t\u00e9 outil. La transmission du couple \u00e0 travers ce moyeu passe par deux boulons de cisaillement M8 de classe 8.8, dimensionn\u00e9s pour se rompre \u00e0 une force de cisaillement calibr\u00e9e correspondant au seuil de couple maximal admissible pour la bo\u00eete de vitesses et les roulements du rotor du broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux John Deere 520. Lorsque le broyeur heurte un objet immobile, comme un poteau en b\u00e9ton enterr\u00e9, une grosse pierre ou une pelote de fil de fer enroul\u00e9e serr\u00e9e, le pic de couple instantan\u00e9 peut atteindre plusieurs milliers de newtons-m\u00e8tres en quelques millisecondes. Les boulons de cisaillement d\u00e9tectent cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement thermodynamiquement et se rompent proprement, d\u00e9connectant instantan\u00e9ment la fourche d'entra\u00eenement du moyeu de protection et stoppant le pic d'\u00e9nergie avant qu'il ne se propage \u00e0 nouveau par l'arbre de transmission de la prise de force jusqu'\u00e0 la bo\u00eete de vitesses du tracteur.<\/p>\n

5. Power Delivery to the Flail Shredder Rotor
\nBeyond the overload protection hub, torque passes through the second arbre de transmission de prise de force<\/strong><\/a> Un joint universel, c\u00f4t\u00e9 outil, permet une articulation angulaire dynamique lors des travaux aux champs. La cannelure de l'\u00e9trier c\u00f4t\u00e9 outil s'engage ensuite avec l'arbre d'entr\u00e9e du r\u00e9ducteur du broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux. Ce r\u00e9ducteur multiplie la vitesse de rotation par des \u00e9tages d'engrenages coniques et droits, passant de 1\u00a0000 tr\/min (prise de force) \u00e0 2\u00a0500 \u00e0 3\u00a0200 tr\/min, vitesse n\u00e9cessaire pour que les fl\u00e9aux atteignent leur vitesse de coupe optimale. Le rotor, d\u00e9sormais entra\u00een\u00e9 \u00e0 sa vitesse nominale, broie les r\u00e9coltes, l'herbe et les broussailles gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'effet combin\u00e9 de la force centrifuge et du cisaillement entre les fl\u00e9aux oscillants et les contre-lames fixes du carter.<\/p>\n

\"Arbre<\/p>\n

Application Areas<\/h2>\n

1. Broyage des tiges de r\u00e9colte
\nAfter harvest, the dry, fibrous stalks of corn, sunflower, sorghum, and other row crops must be shredded and incorporated into the soil to accelerate decomposition and prepare the field for the next planting cycle. The PTO shaft for flail shredder reliably transmits the high, sustained torque required to shred dense, moisture-depleted stalks at working speeds of 4 to 8 km\/h across full-width passes. The heavy duty PTO shaft construction handles the load spikes that occur when the shredder encounters inter-tangled plant residue or occasional stone exposure without fatigue cracking or premature spline wear, delivering consistent performance across entire fields and full seasonal campaigns.<\/p>\n

2. Entretien des p\u00e2turages
\nRegular flail shredding of pasture grasses and weed species encourages uniform, fine-leaved sward regrowth that is more palatable and nutritionally dense for grazing livestock. This tractor PTO drive shaft handles the intermittent overloads generated when the shredder passes over ant hills, shallow rock outcrops, or dense grass clumps, with the shear bolt hub protecting the drivetrain during each brief overload event. The smooth rotational balance of the precision-machined shaft minimizes vibration transmission to the tractor cab, reducing operator fatigue during extended pasture maintenance shifts across large cattle, sheep, and horse grazing properties.<\/p>\n

3. Entretien des bords de route
\nMunicipal, county, and national road authorities rely on flail shredders to control vegetation along roadsides, preventing sight-line obstruction and reducing seasonal fire risk in dry climates. The PTO drive shaft for flail shredder must cope with frequent and substantial angular articulation as the tractor navigates curbs, drainage inlets, and steep embankment slopes adjacent to traffic. Our heavy-duty sealed U-joints maintain smooth torque delivery at articulation angles up to 25 degrees, while the CE-compliant PTO shaft guard provides mandatory operator protection in high-risk public-area working environments throughout the entire operational shift.<\/p>\n

4. Entretien des parcs et des terrains scolaires
\nGroundskeeping crews at municipal parks, sports facilities, and school campuses require a PTO shaft tractor combination that operates smoothly and safely in areas with potential bystander proximity. The full CE-compliant PTO shaft cover prevents debris ejection, and the vibration-free torque delivery of this precision-balanced shaft eliminates the machine juddering and rattling that causes rapid operator fatigue during the long, uninterrupted mowing sessions required for large open grounds. The shear bolt protection prevents rotor seizure events that would otherwise create alarming noise and sudden implement stoppage in populated public spaces.<\/p>\n

5. Entretien des vergers et des vignobles
\nIn orchard and vineyard interrow management, the flail shredder processes cover crops, pruning residue, and grass between tree and vine rows to manage competition for soil moisture and nutrients. The compact profile of the John Deere 520 and the precise PTO shaft dimensions of this driveline allow operators to work in narrow interrow spaces without the shaft fouling on trellis wires, vine stakes, or low-hanging branches. The shear bolt overload protection is especially valuable in vineyards where buried drip irrigation lines, vine stake anchors, and rocky subsoil can be struck without warning at full operating speed during routine maintenance passes.<\/p>\n

6. Entretien des foss\u00e9s et des berges
\nDrainage ditches and earthen flood-control banks must be kept clear of woody shrub and reed growth that impedes water flow and damages channel lining structures. The agricultural PTO shaft is engineered to withstand the extreme articulation angles and sudden torque surges that occur when a flail shredder operates on steep-sided waterway banks and channel edges. The high-strength alloy steel construction resists the progressive metal fatigue that accumulates during sustained high-angle continuous operation, while the sealed U-joint crosses maintain consistent lubrication even when the shaft is frequently submerged in mud and water during ditch-floor work.<\/p>\n

How to Install PTO Shaft on John Deere Flail Shredder<\/h2>\n

1. Pre-Installation Safety Check
\nPark the tractor on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake. Disengage the PTO and wait until all rotating components have come to a complete standstill. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key before approaching the driveline. Inspect the new PTO drive shafts for any transit damage to the tube, guard, or yoke components. Verify that the spline sizes on both yokes match the tractor PTO stub and implement input shaft specifications, and confirm that both shear bolts are correctly seated in the overload protection hub with cotter pins or lock washers in place. Confirm the PTO shaft guard and both safety chains are present and structurally undamaged before proceeding.<\/p>\n

2. Set the Correct PTO Shaft Length Before Fitting
\nUne fois le broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux attel\u00e9 au tracteur en position de fonctionnement normale, mesurez la distance entre la face de la prise de force du tracteur et celle de l'outil. R\u00e9glez la longueur de l'arbre de prise de force de fa\u00e7on que les tubes t\u00e9lescopiques se chevauchent d'au moins un tiers de la longueur du tube int\u00e9rieur lorsque l'outil est en position de transport relev\u00e9e, et d'au moins un quart lorsqu'il est abaiss\u00e9 \u00e0 hauteur de travail. Si n\u00e9cessaire, raccourcissez le tube int\u00e9rieur \u00e0 l'aide d'une scie \u00e0 m\u00e9taux, puis \u00e9bavurez et chanfreinez l'extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 coup\u00e9e \u00e0 la lime avant le remontage. Un chevauchement insuffisant des tubes risque de provoquer la s\u00e9paration de l'arbre sous charge, tandis qu'un chevauchement excessif emp\u00eache les tubes de s'\u00e9tendre \u00e0 la longueur de travail et peut entra\u00eener leur blocage en fin de course et le grippage de la transmission.<\/p>\n

3. Connect the Tractor-Side Yoke
\nApply a thin film of general-purpose grease to the tractor PTO stub splines before sliding the tractor PTO shaft yoke onto the stub. Carefully align the spline teeth of the yoke bore with the corresponding teeth on the stub, then push the yoke forward firmly until the retaining pin snaps audibly into the groove machined on the stub shaft. Give the yoke a firm rearward pull-test to confirm positive retention. Never force a misaligned yoke onto the stub, as forcing it will burr the spline tooth faces and create a loose, noisy fit that will rapidly develop into severe spline wear requiring full yoke replacement during the operating season.<\/p>\n

4. Connect the Implement-Side Yoke and Shear Bolt Hub
\nExtend the PTO shaft toward the flail shredder input stub and slide the implement-side yoke onto the shaft. Align the shear bolt hub slots with the stub grooves, then insert and torque the PTO shaft shear bolt replacements to the manufacturer-specified torque of 22 to 25 N\u00b7m for M8 Grade 8.8 bolts. Install the cotter pin or lock washer through the bolt shank to prevent vibration-induced backing-out during operation. Verify the bolt heads sit flush with or slightly below the hub face plane. Never substitute higher-grade fasteners, as these will not fracture at the design threshold and will instead allow catastrophic torque overload damage to propagate to the gearbox and rotor bearings.<\/p>\n

5. Attach the Safety Guard and Safety Chains
\nSlide the PTO shaft cover over the assembled driveline from one end. Fasten the two safety chain anchor points to fixed, rigid structural points on the tractor rear frame and the implement input housing. Set the chain tension so the guard is held stationary without being so tight that it restricts the guard from pivoting slightly as the hitch geometry changes. Manually rotate the PTO shaft through one full revolution to confirm the guard clears all fixed structures throughout its range of motion. A spinning guard caused by broken or disconnected chains is one of the most dangerous failure modes of a PTO drive shaft installation and is a statutory violation in most jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

6. Initial Run-In and Final Operational Inspection
\nWith all personnel clear of the driveline, start the tractor and engage the PTO at low throttle, approximately one-third of rated operating speed, and allow the new agricultural PTO shaft to run for five minutes while observing from a safe distance. Monitor for unusual vibration, abnormal noise, or heat generation at the U-joints and tube section. After the run-in period, disengage the PTO, allow the shaft to stop, and re-check all connection points for loosening. Increase to full rated PTO speed on the second run and confirm vibration-free, noise-free operation before commencing productive field work with the John Deere 520 flail shredder.<\/p>\n

PTO Driveline Shaft Maintenance Tips<\/h2>\n

1. Regular Greasing of U-Joints and Telescoping Tube
\nLubricate all four grease nipples on both PTO shaft u joint cross kits using EP2 lithium-based grease every 8 operating hours or weekly during active use, whichever interval is reached first. Simultaneously inject grease through the telescoping tube nipple at the same service interval. In very dusty or wet field conditions, reduce the interval to 4 to 6 hours. Continue pumping grease until fresh grease is visible exiting from the bearing cup seal lips, confirming that all four needle cup chambers have been fully charged. Over-greasing is always preferable to under-greasing for agricultural U-joints, as field contamination rapidly degrades bearing lubricant quality.<\/p>\n

2. Pre-Use Shear Bolt Inspection
\nBefore each operating session, visually inspect both PTO shaft shear bolt positions in the overload protection hub. Look for bolts that appear corroded, cracked, or partially fractured from a previous low-level overload event. A compromised bolt will fail at a significantly lower torque than the design threshold, causing nuisance disconnections during normal heavy shredding work. Always carry an adequate stock of genuine M8 Grade 8.8 shear bolts in the tractor toolbox. Never substitute standard high-tensile bolts, which will not fracture at the correct threshold and will allow damage to cascade to the gearbox and input shaft bearings.<\/p>\n

3. Guard Cleaning and Integrity Inspection
\nApr\u00e8s chaque utilisation, lavez le carter de protection de l'arbre de prise de force \u00e0 l'eau claire afin d'\u00e9liminer les r\u00e9sidus de r\u00e9colte, la boue et les d\u00e9p\u00f4ts d'engrais qui retiennent l'humidit\u00e9 contre la surface du polym\u00e8re et acc\u00e9l\u00e8rent la fissuration. Apr\u00e8s lavage, inspectez le carter pour d\u00e9tecter d'\u00e9ventuelles fissures d'impact, notamment au niveau des transitions de la section conique et des zones de renforcement de l'ancrage de la cha\u00eene. Un carter fissur\u00e9 peut se briser brutalement sous l'effet des contraintes centrifuges d'un arbre en rotation. Remplacez tout carter pr\u00e9sentant des fissures de plus de 20 mm ou toute d\u00e9formation compromettant l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 structurelle du bo\u00eetier. Le remplacement du carter est un investissement peu co\u00fbteux qui garantit la conformit\u00e9 aux normes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 CE pour les machines tout au long de la dur\u00e9e de vie du produit.<\/p>\n

4. Annual U-Joint Cross Kit Replacement
\nRegardless of apparent condition, replace both PTO shaft universal joint cross kits at least once per working season in high-use farm applications, or after every 200 operating hours in professional contractor service. Early warning signs requiring immediate cross kit replacement include detectable play when rocking the joint by hand, grease leaking visibly from the bearing cup seal lips, rust staining on the cup outer faces, or any clicking noise during rotation. CMN Transmission supplies matching cross kit replacement PTO shaft parts at competitive pricing to minimize service downtime and maintain the mechanical integrity of the complete driveline assembly throughout its operational life.<\/p>\n

5. Off-Season Storage Procedure
\nAt season end, remove the PTO driveline shaft from the implement and tractor, clean it thoroughly with a pressure washer, and allow it to dry fully before storage. Apply a coat of anti-rust oil or corrosion-inhibiting grease to all exposed metal surfaces, particularly the PTO shaft yoke spline bores and the telescoping tube contact areas. Store the shaft horizontally in a covered, dry location away from direct sunlight, which degrades the polymer guard material over time. Keep the shaft away from fertilizer bags and chemical containers, as agricultural chemicals are highly corrosive to both the phosphate-painted steel components and the injection-moulded guard material.<\/p>\n

6. Spline Wear Monitoring and Adapter Inspection
\nEvery 50 operating hours, remove both yokes from their respective stubs and examine the spline teeth for fretting wear, which appears as a polished, roughened, or darkened contact surface on the tooth flanks. Light fretting can be managed by increasing the grease application frequency at the spline interface. Severe wear, indicated by tooth height reduction exceeding 0.5 mm or measurable radial play in the yoke-to-stub connection, requires replacement of the affected yoke or installation of a compatible PTO shaft adapter to restore the correct fit geometry. Continuing to operate with severely worn splines accelerates wear exponentially and can result in sudden in-field driveline separation.<\/p>\n

\"Arbre<\/p>\n

D\u00e9pannage courant<\/h2>\n

1. Vibrations excessives pendant le fonctionnement
\nCause: Worn or damaged PTO shaft u joint cross kits, shaft bent by impact, or operating angle exceeding 25 degrees. Solution: Disengage the PTO and manually rock each U-joint to detect play. Replace any cross kit showing lash or stiff movement. Re-check the tractor-to-implement geometry to confirm the shaft angle is within the 25-degree design limit throughout the full hitch range of motion. If the shaft has been visibly bent by a severe impact event, replace the entire PTO driveline shaft assembly immediately, as a bent shaft will generate progressive vibration fatigue in the yoke ears and U-joint needle bearings leading to sudden fracture.<\/p>\n

2. Repeated Shear Bolt Failure
\nCause: Operating in excessively dense or woody material, use of incorrect bolt grade, or a foreign object blockage in the flail rotor. Solution: After each shear event, inspect and clear the flail rotor of any wrapped wire, vine, or debris before inserting the shear bolt PTO shaft replacement. Confirm you are using genuine M8 Grade 8.8 bolts torqued correctly. If shearing occurs repeatedly under what appears to be normal operating load, the implement gearbox may have a bearing failure generating internal resistance spikes that mimic overload conditions. Inspect gearbox oil level and bearing condition before resuming field work.<\/p>\n

3. Telescoping Tubes Binding or Sticking
\nCause: Insufficient lubrication of the PTO shaft tubing inner surface, crop material ingested into the tube gap, or corrosion accumulation between the tube profiles. Solution: Inject EP2 grease through the tube grease nipple until fresh grease exits from the tube overlap gap, confirming that the full sliding contact area has been re-lubricated. If stiffness persists after greasing, partially separate the tube sections and clean the profile contact surfaces with a wire brush before re-greasing. Confirm that the tube overlap length remains within the correct operational range for all hitch positions, as over-extended tubes with minimal overlap are prone to jamming under combined torsional and axial load.<\/p>\n

4. Yoke Disengaging from Tractor PTO Stub
\nCause: Worn or missing retaining snap-ring in the tractor PTO stub groove, worn PTO shaft yoke bore splines, or incorrect spline engagement at installation. Solution: Inspect the tractor PTO stub retaining groove for wear or damage and replace the snap-ring if required. If the stub groove is intact but the tractor PTO shaft yoke continues to disengage under load, the yoke spline bore is likely worn beyond its serviceable limit and must be replaced. In an emergency field situation, a properly tensioned hose clamp can provide temporary retention, but this must not be treated as a permanent fix and must be resolved before the next operating session.<\/p>\n

5. Overheating of U-Joint Cross Kits
\nCause: Insufficient needle-bearing lubrication, operating angle exceeding the 25-degree limit, or severely worn bearing cups running metal-to-metal against the journal trunnion faces. Solution: Re-grease all four nipples until fresh grease exits from the seal lips confirming all needle cup chambers have been charged. If the joint remains hot after lubrication, the bearing cups are worn and scoring the journal. Immediate PTO shaft universal joint cross kit replacement is necessary. An overheating U-joint that is not repaired will progress to bearing seizure, which causes the cross journal to shear and results in sudden total loss of drive and potential driveline ejection.<\/p>\n

6. PTO Shaft Guard Rotating with the Shaft
\nCause: Safety chains broken or anchor points on tractor frame or implement housing have failed, allowing the PTO shaft cover to rotate freely. Solution: Disengage the PTO immediately and do not allow any personnel within five meters of the rotating assembly until it has completely stopped. Inspect both chain attachment points and replace any broken chain with a grade-equivalent safety chain. Confirm both anchor points are rigid structural fixtures capable of holding the guard stationary under load. A rotating guard is one of the gravest safety hazards associated with PTO drive shaft use and must be corrected before any further operation of the implement.<\/p>\n

Arbre de prise de force du broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux et bo\u00eete de vitesses de la faucheuse \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux<\/h2>\n

L'arbre de prise de force (PDF) d'un broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux est la transmission m\u00e9canique qui relie la prise de force du tracteur \u00e0 l'arbre d'entr\u00e9e de la bo\u00eete de vitesses de l'outil, constituant ainsi le seul lien de puissance entre le moteur et le rotor de coupe. Chaque arbre de PDF de broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux doit simultan\u00e9ment remplir trois fonctions m\u00e9caniques exigeantes\u00a0: transmettre un couple de rotation \u00e9lev\u00e9 et continu avec des pertes d'\u00e9nergie minimales, compenser les variations constantes d'alignement angulaire et axial entre le tracteur et l'outil lorsque l'ensemble se d\u00e9place sur le terrain, et prot\u00e9ger l'ensemble de la transmission des surcharges de couple soudaines et violentes qui surviennent lorsque le rotor du broyeur rencontre un obstacle immerg\u00e9. Ces trois exigences combin\u00e9es font de l'arbre de PDF agricole l'un des composants les plus sollicit\u00e9s m\u00e9caniquement et soumis \u00e0 la fatigue dans tout ensemble tracteur-outil. Pour le broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux John Deere 520 en particulier, l'arbre doit supporter un couple nominal continu de 590 N\u00b7m \u00e0 1\u00a0000 tr\/min, tout en absorbant les vibrations cycliques g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9es par la rotation rapide des fl\u00e9aux du rotor qui frappent les r\u00e9coltes des centaines de fois par seconde. CMN Transmission con\u00e7oit cet arbre de transmission de prise de force pour broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux autour d'un tube t\u00e9lescopique en deux sections, de croisillons \u00e9tanches renforc\u00e9s et d'un moyeu de protection contre les surcharges par boulon de cisaillement calibr\u00e9 avec pr\u00e9cision, afin de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 ces trois exigences fonctionnelles au sein d'un seul ensemble int\u00e9gr\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Le r\u00e9ducteur de la faucheuse \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux, \u00e9galement appel\u00e9 r\u00e9ducteur de broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux ou transmission d'entra\u00eenement du rotor, est le dispositif m\u00e9canique multiplicateur de vitesse mont\u00e9 sur le ch\u00e2ssis principal de l'outil. Sa fonction principale est de convertir la vitesse de rotation relativement faible fournie par la prise de force du tracteur (1\u00a0000 tr\/min) en une vitesse de 2\u00a0500 \u00e0 3\u00a0200 tr\/min, n\u00e9cessaire au rotor pour amener les fl\u00e9aux oscillants \u00e0 une vitesse d'impact efficace sur la culture. \u00c0 l'int\u00e9rieur, le r\u00e9ducteur comprend un \u00e9tage d'entr\u00e9e \u00e0 engrenages coniques h\u00e9lico\u00efdaux qui modifie l'axe de rotation, passant de la direction de la prise de force \u00e0 celle de l'arbre du rotor. Sur de nombreux mod\u00e8les, cet \u00e9tage est suivi d'un \u00e9tage \u00e0 engrenages droits \u00e0 arbres parall\u00e8les qui fournit le rapport de multiplication final. Tous les engrenages sont rectifi\u00e9s avec pr\u00e9cision \u00e0 partir d'acier alli\u00e9 c\u00e9ment\u00e9 et log\u00e9s dans un carter en fonte ou en alliage d'aluminium rempli d'huile pour engrenages 80W-90.

La relation entre l'arbre de prise de force (PDF) d'un broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux et la bo\u00eete de vitesses de la faucheuse \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux est m\u00e9caniquement symbiotique et fonctionnellement indissociable. Un arbre de transmission mal dimensionn\u00e9 ou us\u00e9 transmet un couple irr\u00e9gulier et vibrant \u00e0 l'entr\u00e9e de la bo\u00eete de vitesses, ce qui acc\u00e9l\u00e8re l'usure des roulements de l'arbre d'entr\u00e9e, des surfaces des dents d'engrenage et des joints de l'arbre de sortie. Inversement, une bo\u00eete de vitesses us\u00e9e ou endommag\u00e9e cr\u00e9e une r\u00e9sistance interne qui g\u00e9n\u00e8re des pics de couple et des vibrations se propageant \u00e0 travers les tubes de l'arbre de prise de force et les joints de cardan, r\u00e9duisant consid\u00e9rablement la dur\u00e9e de vie de la transmission. En pratique, les op\u00e9rateurs qui investissent dans un arbre de prise de force robuste et de haute qualit\u00e9 de CMN Transmission prolongent simultan\u00e9ment la dur\u00e9e de vie de la bo\u00eete de vitesses de leur faucheuse \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux, car un arbre transmettant un couple r\u00e9gulier et \u00e9quilibr\u00e9 soumet les roulements d'entr\u00e9e et l'engr\u00e8nement de la bo\u00eete de vitesses \u00e0 un nombre de cycles de fatigue par heure de fonctionnement sensiblement inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui d'un arbre us\u00e9 ou d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibr\u00e9. CMN Transmission recommande d'inspecter simultan\u00e9ment l'arbre de transmission de la prise de force et la bo\u00eete de vitesses de la faucheuse \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux \u00e0 chaque intervalle d'entretien majeur, en rempla\u00e7ant simultan\u00e9ment les composants us\u00e9s des deux syst\u00e8mes afin de maintenir la coh\u00e9rence m\u00e9canique de la cha\u00eene de transmission de puissance compl\u00e8te, du moteur du tracteur au rotor de coupe, et d'\u00e9viter une situation o\u00f9 un composant nouvellement r\u00e9par\u00e9 serait imm\u00e9diatement soumis \u00e0 des contraintes m\u00e9caniques en raison de d\u00e9faillances dans son syst\u00e8me associ\u00e9.<\/p>\n

    FAQ<\/h2>\n

    Q: What PTO shaft sizes are compatible with the John Deere Flail Shredder 520?<\/strong>
    \nA : Le John Deere 520 utilise un arbre de prise de force (PDF) de s\u00e9rie 4 (CAT4) avec un filetage 6 cannelures (Z6) de 1-3\/8\u2033 aux deux extr\u00e9mit\u00e9s.

Les dimensions cl\u00e9s de l'arbre de PDF comprennent un tourillon transversal de 27 x 74,6 mm et un tube \u00e0 profil conique. Si votre tracteur utilise un filetage 20 cannelures de 1-3\/4\u2033 pour les applications \u00e0 1\u00a0000 tr\/min, contactez CMN Transmission pour obtenir un adaptateur d'arbre de PDF compatible ou une variante d'arbre sp\u00e9cifique au type de cannelures afin de garantir une connexion s\u00fbre et sans jeu.<\/p>\n

    Q: Is this a direct drop-in replacement for the Weasler PTO shaft on the John Deere 520?<\/strong>
    \nA: Yes. This CMN Transmission shaft is a verified replacement of Weasler PTO shaft for the John Deere 520 application. All critical dimensions including yoke bore size, cross journal dimensions, tube profile, and overall length range are manufactured to match Weasler OEM specifications. No adapters, shimming, drilling, or machined modifications are required for a direct fit installation on the original tractor PTO stub and implement input shaft.<\/p>\n

    Q: What is the difference between a 540 PTO shaft and a 1000 PTO shaft for a flail shredder?<\/strong>
    \nA: Un arbre de prise de force (PDF) 540 fonctionne \u00e0 la vitesse de sortie standard du tracteur, soit 540 tr\/min, tandis qu'un arbre de PDF 1000 (\u00e9galement appel\u00e9 PDF 1000 tr\/min) fonctionne \u00e0 1000 tr\/min. La vitesse d'entr\u00e9e plus \u00e9lev\u00e9e r\u00e9duit le rapport de multiplication requis de la bo\u00eete de vitesses du broyeur \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux, ce qui peut se traduire par un fonctionnement plus fluide et plus efficace sur les tracteurs de forte puissance. Le John Deere 520 est compatible avec les deux vitesses. V\u00e9rifiez toujours la vitesse de sortie de la PDF de votre tracteur et les sp\u00e9cifications d'entr\u00e9e de la bo\u00eete de vitesses avant de choisir l'arbre adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 votre configuration.<\/p>\n

    Q: How do I measure and set the correct PTO shaft length for my tractor?<\/strong>
    \nA: Connect the implement to your tractor at the normal working hitch position. Measure the distance between the tractor PTO stub face and the implement input stub face. This is your required working length. The PTO shaft length at working position should still have the inner and outer tubes overlapping by at least 150 mm. With the implement raised to transport height, confirm the tubes do not bottom out. Contact CMN Transmission with your specific measurements if you require a custom PTO shaft for non-standard hitch geometries.<\/p>\n

    Q: What type of shear bolt does this shaft use, and where do I buy replacements?<\/strong>
    \nA: The shear bolt PTO shaft protection system on this unit uses M8 Grade 8.8 shear bolts, two per hub side. These are standard metric fasteners available from any agricultural dealer, automotive parts outlet, or directly from CMN Transmission as a spare PTO shaft parts kit. Always replace shear bolts with the correct Grade 8.8 specification only. Substituting higher-grade fasteners defeats the overload protection system entirely and risks propagating catastrophic torque damage to the gearbox input bearings and shaft.<\/p>\n

    Q: How often should the U-joints on a flail shredder PTO shaft be lubricated?<\/strong>
    \nA: Grease all four nipples on both PTO shaft u joint cross kits every 8 operating hours or weekly during active use, using EP2 lithium-based extreme-pressure grease. In very dusty or wet conditions, reduce the interval to 4 to 6 hours. Also lubricate the telescoping tube grease nipple at the same interval. Regular lubrication is the single most cost-effective maintenance action to maximize service life of the PTO shaft universal joint cross kits and overall shaft assembly.<\/p>\n

    Q: Can I order a custom or OEM-branded PTO shaft from CMN Transmission?<\/strong>
    \nA: Yes. CMN Transmission offers full custom PTO shaft engineering and production services, including custom lengths, non-standard spline configurations, alternative tube profiles, and complete OEM\/ODM branding with your own logo and packaging. We also manufacture PTO shaft with slip clutch protection variants for applications requiring auto-reset overload capability. Contact our technical sales team with your application parameters, drawings, or sample shaft for a competitive custom production quotation.<\/p>\n

    Q: Is the PTO shaft guard CE certified, and is this required legally?<\/strong>
    \nA: Yes, the PTO shaft guard supplied is CE marked in compliance with EU Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC. CE certification confirms the guard design has been validated against mechanical strength, material durability, and safety chain retention requirements specified in the directive. In the European Union, a CE-marked guard is a legal operational requirement. For operators in other regions, the CE marking provides independent assurance of guard design quality and protective performance above minimum local standards.<\/p>\n

    Q: What is the maximum safe operating angle for the U-joints on this PTO shaft?<\/strong>
    \nA: The PTO shaft universal joint crosses are rated for continuous operation at angles up to 25 degrees. Operating consistently beyond 25 degrees significantly reduces rated torque capacity and greatly accelerates needle bearing wear. For applications regularly requiring steeper operating angles, such as roadside embankment work, CMN Transmission offers wide-angle constant-velocity (CV) joint shaft versions. Contact us to discuss which tractor PTO shafts configuration best matches your specific high-angle application requirements.<\/p>\n

    Q : Quelle est la diff\u00e9rence entre un arbre de prise de force \u00e0 embrayage \u00e0 glissement et un arbre de prise de force \u00e0 boulon de cisaillement ?<\/strong>
    \nA: A slip clutch PTO shaft uses a spring-loaded friction disc assembly that slips automatically at a preset torque and re-engages without requiring any part replacement. A shear bolt PTO shaft requires bolt replacement after each overload event but provides a more consistent and precise protection threshold. For flail shredder use, both types are suitable. Shear bolt versions are preferred where maintenance discipline is high and overload events are infrequent; PTO shaft with slip clutch protection is favored where overload events are frequent or bolt replacement in the field is impractical.<\/p>\n

    Q: Why does CMN Transmission use a lemon profile for the PTO shaft tube?<\/strong>
    \nA : Le profil du tube de l'arbre de prise de force d\u00e9termine directement la capacit\u00e9 de couple et le comportement de glissement de la section t\u00e9lescopique. CMN Transmission utilise un profil bilob\u00e9 (en forme de citron) pour cette application, car il offre un \u00e9quilibre optimal entre rigidit\u00e9 en torsion, glissement axial fluide sous couple et charge axiale combin\u00e9s, et faisabilit\u00e9 de fabrication de pr\u00e9cision aux dimensions requises de l'arbre de prise de force. Les profils en \u00e9toile offrent une capacit\u00e9 de couple l\u00e9g\u00e8rement sup\u00e9rieure, mais sont plus sujets au grippage et au blocage dans des conditions de terrain difficiles o\u00f9 la p\u00e9n\u00e9tration de r\u00e9sidus de r\u00e9colte et de terre dans l'entrefer du tube est in\u00e9vitable lors d'une utilisation agricole normale.<\/p>\n

J'ai command\u00e9 un arbre de remplacement de s\u00e9rie 4 chez CMN Transmission suite \u00e0 une recommandation sur un forum agricole en ligne. L'ajustement \u00e9tait parfait, sans aucun r\u00e9glage ni adaptateur n\u00e9cessaire\u00a0; il s'est simplement gliss\u00e9 directement sur l'arbre cannel\u00e9 de 35 mm et s'est verrouill\u00e9 du premier coup. Depuis le printemps, nous l'avons utilis\u00e9 pendant environ 210 heures, \u00e0 broyer des tiges \u00e9paisses et une culture de couverture mixte, et il fonctionne aussi bien qu'au premier jour. La qualit\u00e9 de fabrication est nettement sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 celle du dernier arbre de rechange que j'avais achet\u00e9 chez un concessionnaire local. Le carter est robuste, les joints de cardan sont toujours bien serr\u00e9s et la finition phosphat\u00e9e r\u00e9siste bien. Je n'h\u00e9siterai pas \u00e0 en commander un autre le moment venu. \u00bb<\/p>\n

    James Whitfield, entrepreneur agricole, Royaume-Uni<\/strong>
    \nJe g\u00e8re des contrats d'entretien de prairies dans trois comt\u00e9s du Yorkshire et, au fil des ans, j'ai test\u00e9 plusieurs marques d'arbres de prise de force pour broyeurs \u00e0 fl\u00e9aux, cherchant un mod\u00e8le durable et abordable. L'arbre Weasler d'origine de mon broyeur 520 a fini par rendre l'\u00e2me apr\u00e8s quatre saisons. Un ami m'a conseill\u00e9 CMN. Command\u00e9 lundi, re\u00e7u jeudi par DHL, une livraison internationale impressionnante. La finition de l'arbre est nettement sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 celle de certains produits chinois que j'ai pu essayer\u00a0: le rev\u00eatement phosphat\u00e9 est uniforme et les al\u00e9sages du joug \u00e9taient impeccables, sans bavures ni copeaux. Trois mois apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9but de la saison, avec un travail quotidien intensif sur les roseaux et les berges de foss\u00e9s, aucun boulon de cisaillement ni vibration \u00e0 d\u00e9plorer. Un produit et un service irr\u00e9prochables.<\/p>\n

    Klaus Brenner, agriculteur, Allemagne<\/strong>
    \n\u00ab Je suis agriculteur en Bavi\u00e8re et j'utilise principalement un John Deere 520 pour l'entretien des talus. L'arbre d'origine \u00e9tait us\u00e9 apr\u00e8s cinq ans. J'ai command\u00e9 chez CMN et j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris de la rapidit\u00e9 de la livraison en Allemagne. L'arbre est d'une finition impeccable, les joints de cardan sont parfaitement ajust\u00e9s et le tube de protection est bien \u00e9tanche. Aucune vibration, aucun bruit. Sur simple demande, le service client m'a rapidement envoy\u00e9 une fiche technique. Je recommande vivement ce produit, excellent rapport qualit\u00e9-prix. \u00bb<\/p>\n

    Andrew Stafford, directeur de vignoble, Australie<\/strong>
    \n\u00ab Je g\u00e8re un vignoble dans la Barossa Valley et nous utilisons un JD 520 pour le paillage inter-rangs des r\u00e9sidus de taille chaque hiver. L'arbre de prise de force que j'avais install\u00e9 auparavant, achet\u00e9 chez un fournisseur local, vibrait \u00e9norm\u00e9ment d\u00e8s la premi\u00e8re saison, ce qui \u00e9tait g\u00eanant et inqui\u00e9tant. J'ai command\u00e9 celui-ci chez CMN et je n'ai absolument rien \u00e0 redire. La partie t\u00e9lescopique coulisse parfaitement, sans aucun jeu, et le moyeu du boulon de cisaillement est une pi\u00e8ce usin\u00e9e de qualit\u00e9, contrairement \u00e0 l'acier embouti de l'ancien. En novembre, nous avons \u00e9galement heurt\u00e9 un piquet d'irrigation enterr\u00e9 \u00e0 pleine vitesse et le boulon de cisaillement a parfaitement rempli son r\u00f4le\u00a0: rupture nette, sans dommage \u00e0 la bo\u00eete de vitesses. J'avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 des boulons de rechange dans ma bo\u00eete \u00e0 outils. Excellent produit, livraison rapide en Australie-M\u00e9ridionale, je le recommande vivement. \u00bb<\/p>\n

    Yann Leborgne, conducteur de travaux, France<\/strong>
    \n\u00ab Nous effectuons des travaux d'entretien des routes pour une collectivit\u00e9 locale en Bretagne, et notre John Deere 520 fonctionne quasiment toute l'ann\u00e9e. L'arbre de transmission d'origine a cass\u00e9 l'hiver dernier et nous avions besoin d'une pi\u00e8ce rapidement. CMN a trait\u00e9 la commande en 24 heures et nous avons re\u00e7u l'arbre en 5 jours ouvrables. L'installation s'est faite sans probl\u00e8me, les dimensions \u00e9taient parfaites et la protection d'arbre est conforme aux normes CE. Aucun probl\u00e8me m\u00e9canique depuis, les joints r\u00e9sistent bien m\u00eame dans la v\u00e9g\u00e9tation tr\u00e8s dense des berges de canal. Un excellent rapport qualit\u00e9-prix pour un travail professionnel. \u00bb<\/p>\n

    Marco Andreoli, propri\u00e9taire de ferme, Italie<\/strong>
    \n\u00ab Je suis propri\u00e9taire d'une entreprise agricole en \u00c9milie-Romagne et j'utilise le JD 520 pour broyer les chaumes de ma\u00efs et les r\u00e9sidus de taille dans les vergers. Apr\u00e8s avoir compar\u00e9 plusieurs fournisseurs, j'ai command\u00e9 cet arbre de transmission chez CMN. Le prix \u00e9tait comp\u00e9titif, mais ce qui m'a convaincu, c'est la documentation technique compl\u00e8te et la certification ISO. L'arbre est arriv\u00e9 bien emball\u00e9 et en parfait \u00e9tat. L'installation a \u00e9t\u00e9 simple. Sur le terrain, aucune vibration, aucun jeu, et j'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9pass\u00e9 les 150 heures d'utilisation. Le support technique par e-mail a r\u00e9pondu en anglais et en italien. Je recommande. \u00bb<\/p>\n

    Darren McKinnon, entrepreneur en r\u00e9colte \u00e0 fa\u00e7on, Canada<\/strong>
    \n\u00ab Nous exploitons une entreprise de r\u00e9colte et de gestion des r\u00e9sidus agricoles en Saskatchewan. Apr\u00e8s une saison de r\u00e9colte de canola particuli\u00e8rement difficile, l'arbre de prise de force de notre JD 520 s'est fissur\u00e9 au niveau de la soudure du tube. Il nous fallait donc le remplacer rapidement. Le site web de CMN \u00e9tait facile \u00e0 utiliser, la fiche technique correspondait exactement aux dimensions de notre arbre et la commande a \u00e9t\u00e9 exp\u00e9di\u00e9e en deux jours ouvrables. La qualit\u00e9 de la finition m'a agr\u00e9ablement surpris. L'usinage du joug est impeccable, le protecteur s'ajuste parfaitement sans aucune modification et les kits de traverses sont tr\u00e8s robustes. Cet automne, nous avons broy\u00e9 environ 160 hectares de chaume de canola avec le nouvel arbre sans aucun probl\u00e8me. Le prix \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s raisonnable. J'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 recommand\u00e9 CMN \u00e0 deux autres exploitants de notre r\u00e9gion. \u00bb<\/p>\n

    Ricardo Fonseca, directeur de ferme, Br\u00e9sil<\/strong>
    \n\u00ab Nous cultivons du soja et du ma\u00efs sur environ 800 hectares dans le Mato Grosso et utilisons le JD 520 pour broyer la paille apr\u00e8s la r\u00e9colte. Nous avons test\u00e9 deux autres fournisseurs d'arbres de prise de force avant de choisir CMN Transmission. La qualit\u00e9 des kits de transmission et de la protection des boulons de cisaillement est nettement sup\u00e9rieure. Le produit est arriv\u00e9 au Br\u00e9sil bien emball\u00e9 et dans les d\u00e9lais. Nous l'utilisons d\u00e9j\u00e0 depuis plus de 300 heures sans aucun probl\u00e8me. Le service avant-vente \u00e9tait excellent\u00a0; ils ont r\u00e9pondu rapidement \u00e0 toutes nos questions techniques. Nous recommandons CMN \u00e0 tous les producteurs qui recherchent la qualit\u00e9 \u00e0 un prix juste. \u00bb<\/p>\n

    Craig Sutherland, \u00e9leveur de moutons, Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande<\/strong>
    \n\u00ab Nous \u00e9levons des moutons et g\u00e9rons une entreprise de fauchage \u00e0 Canterbury, et notre principal outil pour la r\u00e9novation des p\u00e2turages est le JD 520. J'ai command\u00e9 deux arbres de transmission de prise de force chez CMN au cours des dix-huit derniers mois\u00a0: un pour un remplacement direct et l'autre comme pi\u00e8ce de rechange pour l'atelier. Les deux sont arriv\u00e9s bien emball\u00e9s et \u00e0 temps, ce qui est crucial en pleine saison, quand l'alternative est d'attendre dix jours pour une pi\u00e8ce. Le premier a d\u00e9j\u00e0 fonctionn\u00e9 plus de 250\u00a0heures dans des p\u00e2turages de kikuyu, des joncs et des bordures de broussailles, et le seul entretien que j'ai effectu\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 le graissage r\u00e9gulier. Je recommande vivement CMN Transmission aux autres agriculteurs n\u00e9o-z\u00e9landais qui recherchent un arbre de transmission de prise de force de remplacement de qualit\u00e9 et \u00e9conomique pour leur Weasler, avec une livraison internationale rapide. \u00bb<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
