Reliable PTO Shaft for Peecon Vertical Feed Mixer Models

PTO Shaft for Peecon Vertical Feed Mixer Model: 1100CF, 1300CF, 1500CF

The PTO Shaft for Peecon Vertical Feed Mixers 1100CF, 1300CF, 1500CF is a purpose-built agricultural driveline manufactured by CMN Transmission for dairy, beef, and mixed livestock operations that rely on Peecon Future Cutter vertical TMR wagons. This vertical feed mixer PTO shaft uses a φ58mm high-strength alloy steel hexagonal tube paired with double row angular contact bearings, delivering up to 3800 Nm of continuous torque and a wide 80-220 HP compatibility window. Every tractor PTO drive shaft we ship is pressure-lubricated, balanced, and pre-tested, so the unit slots straight into the Peecon input shaft without modification, shimming, or field welding.

On-farm, this PTO shaft for TMR feed mixer runs through the full daily feed cycle: loading silage, hay, concentrates and minerals into the 11, 13 or 15 cubic meter tub, then chopping and blending the ration for lactating cows, fattening beef, sheep, goats, or pigs. The three-layer nano-ceramic coating resists ammonia, manure acid, and barn wash-down chemicals, giving roughly 60% better corrosion life than standard galvanizing. Typical applications include PEECON Future 1100CF / 1300CF / 1500CF single-auger trailed mixers, PTO shaft for Peecon TMR mixers retrofits, and drive-in feed pads where the tractor PTO shaft is engaged and disengaged dozens of times per shift.

The original equipment is a Walterscheid 2580 PTO shaft. 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.

Features of PTO Shaft for Peecon Vertical Feed Mixer

1. Heavy Duty φ58mm Hex Tube
The core of this heavy duty PTO shaft is a φ58mm hexagonal tube cold-drawn from high-strength alloy steel. Hex profile prevents rotational slip under shock loading, while the 4.5mm wall thickness handles the stop-start duty cycle of a loaded Peecon 1500CF tub. Compared to standard triangular PTO shaft tubing, hex gives roughly 30% more torsional stiffness at the same weight.

2. Protezione integrata della frizione antisaltellamento
Every unit ships with a factory-calibrated friction slip clutch PTO shaft assembly, pre-set to match the Peecon auger torque profile. The clutch slips before damage reaches the gearbox or tractor driveline, acting as a reset-style alternative to a one-shot shear bolt PTO shaft. If you prefer a mechanical sacrifice link, a shear pin PTO shaft variant is available on request.

3. Forged 42CrMo Yokes & Cross Kits
Both the PTO shaft yoke assemblies and the cross-type PTO shaft universal joint are drop-forged from 42CrMo4 steel, then induction-hardened on the bearing races. Greasable cross fittings extend service intervals to 50 operating hours. These are the same PTO shaft parts specified on the OEM Walterscheid and Bondioli & Pavesi premium lines, giving genuine plug-and-play replacement performance.

4. Full-Cover CE Safety Guard
The molded PTO shaft cover wraps the entire telescopic section plus both cross joints, terminating in a chain-anchored bell at each end. This CE-compliant PTO shaft guard is injection-molded from impact-resistant polymer that stays flexible down to minus 30°C. Quick-release dust caps let operators lubricate the cross bearings in under two minutes without fully removing the PTO shaft guard.

5. Nano-Ceramic Corrosion Coating
All steel surfaces receive a three-layer nano-ceramic coating applied in our Zhejiang plant. Salt-spray testing per ASTM B117 shows roughly 60% longer corrosion life than conventional zinc galvanizing, which matters on dairy yards where ammonia and barn wash-down chemicals attack exposed metal. The finish also resists UV chalking, keeping the PTO drive shaft looking factory-new through multiple seasons.

6. Custom Lengths & OEM Support
Because Peecon chassis hitches vary by trailer, axle, and tractor combination, CMN Transmission supplies the unit in standard closed length 1210mm as well as custom PTO shaft lengths from 950mm to 1710mm. Tell us your PTO shaft length, PTO shaft dimensions, and preferred clutch torque, and we ship a purpose-cut driveline. OEM laser branding and private-label packaging are available for distributors.

Working Principle of Feed Mixer PTO Shaft

The PTO shaft for Peecon Vertical Feed Mixers 1100CF, 1300CF, 1500CF is a mechanical power transmission link. It takes rotational energy produced by the tractor diesel engine and delivers it, intact, to the input gearbox of the Peecon TMR wagon, which in turn drives the vertical mixing auger at the correct speed and torque. Operation begins when the tractor driver engages the rear power take-off lever. The tractor's 540 PTO shaft output stub (or, on higher-powered setups, the 1000 PTO shaft output) begins to turn at its rated speed, and the splined tractor-side yoke of our driveline locks onto it through a push-pin or ball-collar locking collar.

Torque then enters the first cross-type PTO shaft universal joint. This joint allows for up to 25 degrees of angular misalignment between tractor and mixer, which happens every time you drive over a barn threshold, back the tractor into the feed alley, or raise the hitch during transport. Because the two yokes of a single universal joint rotate at different instantaneous speeds, our driveline uses a matched, in-phase pair of joints. The first joint accelerates, the second decelerates, and the angular velocity arriving at the gearbox input is smooth rather than pulsing. This is why a correctly phased PTO shaft u joint pair is essential for long auger life.

Between the two universal joints runs the telescopic φ58mm hexagonal PTO shaft tube. The hex shape lets the inner tube slide inside the outer tube as the distance between tractor PTO and mixer input changes, but still transmits full torque because the hex faces cannot rotate relative to each other. During mixing, the driver typically raises the three-point or hitch slightly to load silage, then lowers it when moving to the bunk. Every one of those movements is absorbed by the telescopic PTO shaft tubing without any interruption of power.

Power reaches the implement-side yoke and enters the friction slip clutch. Under normal mixing load, the clutch plates stay locked and torque passes through untouched. If the vertical auger suddenly bites into a frozen silage block, a wrapped bale net, or a piece of foreign metal, peak torque spikes above 3800 Nm. At that threshold the clutch plates slip against their Belleville-washer preload, absorbing the shock as heat rather than passing it into the gearbox. Once the blockage clears, the clutch re-grips automatically. No PTO shaft shear bolt to replace, no downtime.

Finally the torque enters the Peecon 1-3/4" x 20 spline input, drives the primary bevel gear, then the vertical auger, mixing hay, silage, grain, and mineral supplement into a uniform TMR. Throughout the whole chain, the molded plastic safety guard keeps the rotating driveline fully enclosed, protecting the operator per CE and OSHA guidelines. The result is a closed-loop mechanical system where one tractor, one PTO driveline shaft, and one mixer can feed 200 dairy cows in roughly 20 minutes of actual run time per batch.

Applications of PTO Drive Shaft for TMR Mixer

1. Allevamenti di bestiame da latte
Dairy farms are the single largest users of the Albero cardanico for Peecon feed mixer. On operations of 120 to 600 milking cows, the Peecon 1300CF and 1500CF feed through the bunk two to three times per day. Our shaft handles the repeated engage-disengage cycle and the abrasive, acidic silage environment, delivering reliable uptime so that milk production curves stay flat and feed conversion stays predictable through the lactation.

2. Allevamento di bovini da carne
Beef finishers running 200 to 2000-head feedlots use the Peecon 1100CF and 1300CF to mix grain-heavy rations with corn silage, distiller grains, and supplements. The high torque capacity of our tractor PTO shaft handles the denser rations without clutch slippage during the chop phase. Consistent mixing directly translates to steadier average daily gain, better feed-to-gain ratios, and shorter days-on-feed before market weight.

3. Attività di allevamento di pecore e capre
Commercial sheep and dairy-goat operations increasingly use compact vertical mixers like the Peecon 1100CF to prepare finer-chop TMR for smaller ruminants. Our PTO drive shaft for feed mixer runs smoothly even at the lower 540 RPM setting preferred for delicate hay chopping. The slip clutch is especially valuable here, where wool contamination or baling twine can otherwise snap an agricultural PTO shaft instantly.

4. Allevamenti di suini
Large swine finishing barns in Northern Europe and North America now blend liquid feed bases with dry concentrates inside vertical wagons for gestating sows and growers. The corrosion-resistant nano-ceramic finish on our feed mixer PTO shaft resists whey, lactic acid, and barn cleaning chemicals common in pig operations. Uniform mixing reduces sorting behavior at the feeder and helps maintain tighter finishing weight ranges per pen.

5. Attività legate a cavalli ed equini
Stud farms, racing yards, and performance-horse training centers use the Peecon 1100CF to prepare chopped forage mixes with steamed oats, beet pulp, and mineral pellets. Our 1000 rpm PTO shaft version provides the fine-chop rotation equine nutritionists specify for reducing respiratory dust. Quiet, vibration-free operation from our balanced driveline also matters in stable yards where noise stress directly affects training and recovery.

How to Install PTO Shaft on Peecon Feed Mixer

Step 1: Site Prep and Safety
Park the tractor and the Peecon mixer on level ground. Set the parking brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the key, and wait at least 30 seconds for any residual rotation in the auger to stop. Wear gloves and safety glasses. If the mixer tub contains residual feed, scrape it clear of the input driveshaft area. Never attempt to install or adjust a PTO shaft tractor with the engine running. Confirm that both the tractor PTO stub and the Peecon gearbox input splines are clean, free of baling twine, and lightly greased.

Step 2: Measure the Required Length
Hitch the tractor to the Peecon mixer at the normal operating position, then jackknife the tractor to the sharpest angle you will ever use in the field (often about 40 degrees). Measure the distance between the tractor's PTO groove and the face of the mixer's input shaft. Add a 75 mm buffer. This is your required closed length. Next straighten the tractor and measure the maximum straight-line distance; this must not exceed the extended length of the shaft minus 75 mm, or the telescoping tubes will separate. Compare both figures to the PTO shaft sizes listed on the spec sheet before cutting.

Step 3: Mount the Tractor-Side Yoke
Pull back the spring-loaded locking collar on the tractor-side yoke, slide the yoke fully onto the tractor PTO stub until the locking balls or push-pin snap into the groove of the stub, then release the collar. Tug the shaft firmly toward you; it must not come free. This confirms positive lock on the 540 PTO shaft or 1000 PTO shaft output. A loose tractor-side connection is the number one cause of a PTO drive shafts ejection incident, so never skip this check.

Step 4: Connect the Implement End
Lift the implement-side yoke and align the 1-3/4" x 20 spline female profile with the Peecon gearbox input shaft. Push the yoke onto the input while operating the locking collar or retaining bolt as designed. For bolt-type retention, torque the M12 retaining bolt to 80 Nm. Verify that the friction slip clutch PTO shaft assembly is on the implement side, not the tractor side, because the clutch must protect the driveline downstream of the tractor PTO.

Step 5: Secure the Safety Guard Chains
Anchor the two chains of the plastic PTO shaft guard, one to the tractor fender and one to a fixed point on the Peecon mixer frame. The chains must be short enough to prevent the guard from rotating with the shaft, but long enough to accommodate full steering lock. A rotating guard wears out internal bearings and destroys the PTO shaft cover in one season. This single step extends guard life from months to years.

Step 6: Grease, Bench Test, Field Test
Before first use, pump fresh NLGI-2 lithium grease into every grease nipple: two per cross joint, one on each telescoping tube, and the clutch slip plate if so specified. Start the tractor, engage the PTO at idle, and listen for 30 seconds. No knocking, no rubbing, no vibration. Bring engine speed up to rated 540 or 1000 RPM, confirm smooth rotation, then engage under light mixer load. Re-check all connections after the first hour of operation, and re-grease every eight working hours thereafter.

How to Choose the Right Tractor PTO Shaft for Feed Mixer

1. Confirm Tractor HP and PTO Speed
The Peecon 1100CF typically needs 80 to 120 HP, the 1300CF 100 to 140 HP, and the 1500CF 120 to 180 HP at the PTO. Match the tractor's continuous PTO horsepower rating against the mixer requirement, not just maximum engine HP. Then decide whether the tractor PTO is 540 RPM or 1000 RPM standard. Our 540 PTO shaft version is the most common fit in North America; the 1000 rpm PTO shaft version suits larger European tractors.

2. Measure Length Accurately
Record two numbers on site: closed length (tractor jackknifed hard) and extended length (tractor straight, hitch fully extended). Correct PTO shaft length should overlap by at least 1/3 of the closed length at maximum extension and should never bottom out at minimum extension. Getting the PTO shaft dimensions right at the order stage avoids the cost of returning an oversize unit later.

3. Verify Spline Standard on Both Ends
Tractor-side standards vary: 1-3/8" x 6 for 540 RPM, 1-3/8" x 21 for 540E economy, 1-3/4" x 20 for 1000 RPM. The Peecon mixer input is normally 1-3/4" x 20 but some older 1100CF units use 1-3/8" x 21. Check both ends before ordering. If your existing shaft is a replacement of Walterscheid PTO shaft, the spline will usually mirror the OEM, but always confirm visually with a spline gauge.

4. Select the Right Clutch Type
Choose a PTO shaft with slip clutch when feed composition varies and short jams are frequent; the clutch resets automatically. Choose a shear bolt PTO shaft when you want a mechanical fuse that absolutely cannot transmit above-design torque, typical for older or rebuilt gearboxes. A wide-angle joint option is available if your tractor frequently operates at sharp steering angles during yard feeding.

5. Confirm Certification and Warranty
For EU and UK markets verify CE marking on the PTO shaft guard, for global quality management confirm the supplier's ISO9001 certificate, and for automotive-grade process control look for TS16949. CMN Transmission provides all three, plus a 24-month workmanship warranty on every tractor PTO shaft shipment. Request the certificate PDFs from our sales team before closing the purchase order.

Common Troubleshooting of PTO Drive Shaft for Feed Mixer

1. Excessive Vibration During Mixing
Vibration usually points to either an out-of-phase universal joint pair or a bent PTO shaft tube. Check that both end yokes are aligned in the same rotational plane by looking straight down the shaft; the yoke ears should appear parallel. If they do not, loosen the telescopic tube, re-index the two halves so the yokes align, and re-tighten. If vibration persists, roll the tube on a flat surface to check for bow. A bent tube must be replaced, not straightened; straightening weakens the PTO shaft tubing grain structure and invites fatigue failure.

2. Knocking Sound from the Cross Joints
A hollow knocking usually means one of the needle bearings inside the PTO shaft universal joint has failed, often from missed grease intervals. Pull the shaft, pop the circlips, and inspect the cross trunnions. If the rollers are blue, dry, or brinelled, replace the complete cross kit. On our heavy duty series, the cross is a serviceable part so downtime is normally under 30 minutes. Going forward, grease every cross at 8 operating hours and the telescoping tube at 40 hours.

3. Clutch Slipping Under Normal Load
If your slip clutch PTO shaft slips when it should not, three things to check in order. First, ensure the clutch has been broken in; a new clutch must be manually slipped once before first field use to bed the friction discs. Second, verify the Belleville washer stack height against the specification sheet; summer humidity can cause pre-load relaxation. Third, if the friction discs are glazed or contaminated with oil, replace them as a set; glazed discs never fully re-grip.

4. Shear Bolt Breaking Repeatedly
When the shear pin in a shear pin PTO shaft breaks more than once per week, you are treating a symptom. Open the Peecon tub and check for wrapped baling twine on the auger, a bent knife, or packed frozen silage. Replace only with the exact-grade PTO shaft shear bolt specified; using a higher-grade bolt defeats the protective function and transfers the fault to the gearbox, which is far more expensive to repair than the bolt.

5. Telescopic Tubes Seized
Seized telescopic tubes are caused by missed lubrication, leading to rust inside the hex profile. Light seizure can be freed by soaking the tube in penetrating oil overnight, then working it back and forth with a strap. Heavy seizure with scoring requires tube replacement. Prevent recurrence by pulling the tubes apart every 200 hours, cleaning both halves, and re-greasing with a film of NLGI-2 lithium grease along the entire hex face before reassembly.

6. Plastic Guard Cracking or Spinning
If the plastic PTO shaft guard cracks at the bell ends, the anchoring chains are too short and stressing the bearing retainers. If the whole guard spins with the shaft, the chains are broken, worn or missing. Replace broken chains immediately; a spinning guard overheats and melts in under 20 minutes of running. Use only OEM-grade guard bearings and lubricate them with a single shot of silicone spray at each service interval.

Albero cardanico e riduttore del miscelatore di mangimi

The feed mixer PTO shaft and the feed mixer gearbox are the two mechanical components that convert tractor horsepower into usable mixing work inside a Peecon vertical TMR wagon. Individually they do different jobs, but functionally they are inseparable. If either one fails or is incorrectly specified, the entire ration-preparation cycle breaks down.

The PTO shaft is the external link. It accepts rotational input from the tractor at 540 or 1000 RPM, absorbs the angular misalignment between tractor and mixer through its universal joints, and telescopes in and out as the hitch angle changes. Its job is to deliver smooth, uninterrupted torque to the input flange of the gearbox. Our PTO driveline shaft is engineered to tolerate the full 3800 Nm continuous load that a fully filled 1500CF mixer can generate during the chop phase when the auger encounters frozen silage or dense hay.

The feed mixer gearbox sits internally on the Peecon chassis, bolted directly to the bottom of the tub. It is a right-angle bevel-gear reduction unit that converts the horizontal rotation arriving from the PTO shaft into vertical rotation for the single-auger mixing tool, while also stepping the speed down and the torque up. In the Peecon 1100CF, 1300CF and 1500CF the gearbox typically reduces 540 RPM input to roughly 30 to 45 RPM at the auger, multiplying torque by a factor of 12 to 18, which is what allows one mid-size tractor to chop and mix two tons of ration simultaneously.

Together they form a complete, sealed power path: engine to clutch to PTO stub, through our tractor PTO drive shaft into the gearbox pinion, through the ring gear into the auger. When you replace the PTO shaft with a unit that is correctly specified, you extend gearbox life as well, because smooth torque delivery eliminates the micro-shock loading that wears bevel-gear teeth. CMN Transmission supplies matched PTO shaft and feed mixer gearbox sets, allowing farmers to refresh the entire driveline in one service window rather than chase intermittent breakdowns across a busy feeding season.

Domande frequenti

Q: Is this PTO shaft a true direct replacement for the Walterscheid unit on my Peecon 1300CF?
A: Yes. The spline count, spline profile, closed length, extended length, and slip clutch torque setting all match the original equipment. It is a genuine bolt-on replacement of Walterscheid PTO shaft for the 1100CF, 1300CF, and 1500CF Peecon vertical wagons. You will not need an adapter, a shim, or any modification to the mixer or the tractor side. Install time is typically under 15 minutes.

Q: What is the difference between a 540 PTO shaft and a 1000 PTO shaft version?
A: Both carry the same mechanical power rating but at different speeds. A 540 PTO shaft runs at 540 RPM and uses a 1-3/8" x 6 spline tractor side, most common on North American dairy tractors. A 1000 PTO shaft runs at 1000 RPM and uses a 1-3/8" x 21 or 1-3/4" x 20 spline, typical on higher-HP European tractors. Select based on your tractor's PTO specification.

Q: Can I order a custom PTO shaft length for a non-standard Peecon hitch setup?
A: Absolutely. We manufacture custom PTO shaft units from 950 mm closed length up to 1710 mm closed length. Send us your closed-length measurement and extended-length measurement, plus the maximum steering angle in operation. Our engineering team will confirm compatibility inside 24 hours and quote the custom part at no upcharge over the standard price for lengths within catalog range.

Q: How often should the tractor PTO shaft be greased for a Peecon 1500CF running twice daily?
A: For twice-daily use on a 1500CF, grease both PTO shaft u joint cross kits every eight operating hours, the telescoping tube every 40 hours, and the slip clutch discs at annual teardown. Use NLGI-2 lithium-complex grease rated for agricultural drivelines. Skipping grease intervals is the number one cause of premature universal joint failure on tractor PTO shafts, accounting for roughly 70% of warranty claims industry-wide.

Q: What is the correct PTO shaft size if I am replacing a worn-out unit without the part number?
A: Measure three things: overall closed length of the old shaft, the tractor-side spline outside diameter and spline count, and the implement-side spline outside diameter and spline count. Send photos of both yokes and the clutch assembly to our sales team. We match PTO shaft sizes from those three data points plus the mixer model. Industry-standard nomenclature is Series number (example: T4, T6, T8) for the torque class.

Q: Does the shaft include a PTO shaft guard and is it CE certified?
A: Yes, every shipment includes a full-cover plastic PTO shaft guard with CE compliance marking, two restraint chains, and quick-release dust caps for lubrication access. The guard is injection-molded from impact-resistant polymer rated to minus 30°C. For operators in the EU and UK this ensures compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC requirements for agricultural driveline safety.

D: Qual è la differenza tra un albero cardanico con frizione a slittamento e un albero cardanico con bullone di sicurezza?
A: A PTO shaft with slip clutch uses friction discs that slip when torque exceeds a preset limit, then re-grip automatically once the overload clears. A shear bolt PTO shaft uses a sacrificial bolt that breaks on overload and must be replaced manually. Slip clutches are better for frequent, minor overloads like frozen silage; shear bolts are simpler and better for protecting expensive gearboxes from catastrophic jams.

Q: Can I use a PTO shaft adapter to mount this shaft on a non-Peecon mixer?
A: In most cases yes, with a PTO shaft adapter sleeve matched to the foreign mixer's input spline. We stock adapters for common mixer brands and can supply an adapter plus our shaft as a bundle. However, we strongly recommend ordering the correct native spline from the factory when possible, since every adapter adds one rotational interface that can wear out under heavy duty.

Q: What are typical PTO shaft dimensions I should confirm before ordering?
A: Confirm: closed length (minimum distance between tractor PTO and mixer input at sharpest jackknife), extended length (maximum distance at straight tow), tube overlap (should be at least 1/3 of closed length at full extension), spline standard on each end, and clutch torque rating. These five PTO shaft dimensions determine whether the shaft will fit and survive in your specific Peecon 1100CF, 1300CF, or 1500CF application.

Q: What is the warranty and lead time on CMN Transmission PTO shafts?
A: Every agricultural PTO shaft we sell carries a 24-month manufacturer workmanship warranty covering forging defects, weld failures, and premature bearing wear under normal use. Standard lead time is 15 to 25 days for catalog units and 25 to 35 days for custom lengths. We ship EXW, FOB, or CIF from Ningbo, Shanghai, or Qingdao ports, with door-to-door DDP available on request for customers in North America and Western Europe.

Q: Can I buy individual PTO shaft parts like a replacement yoke or cross kit?
A: Yes. Every component on our vertical feed mixer PTO shaft is serviceable, and we stock all individual PTO shaft parts including yokes, cross kits, tubes, clutch discs, guard assemblies, and grease fittings. This lets you repair a damaged driveline in the field rather than replace the entire unit, reducing downtime from days to hours. Use the part number engraved on the yoke neck when ordering spares.

Travis Lundgren, Dairy Farm Manager, Wisconsin, United States
"Running a Peecon 1300CF on our 420-cow dairy outside Green Bay for about six years now. The original Walterscheid shaft finally walked out on us mid-winter after a frozen-silage jam. Ordered the CMN replacement on a Friday, had it on the farm Thursday. Fit was spot on, same splines, same clutch torque feel, slid right on without any shimming. We are about 240 hours into the season and the shaft runs quieter than the OEM did when it was new. Would buy again for the farm truck's Peecon too."

Pieter van der Velde, Dairy Farmer, Friesland, Netherlands
"We operate three Peecon Future 1500CF wagons across two farms in Friesland. Bought four of the CMN heavy duty shafts to stock as spares last spring. The first one went into service in June on a Fendt 724 pulling a fully loaded tub, and so far zero complaints. The nano-ceramic coating is still clean even after a wet autumn. Dutch farmers are not easy customers, we pick equipment apart. These shafts pass the test. Sales team answered my dimension questions inside two hours. That is rare."

Matthias Brunnbauer, Dairy Farmer, Bavaria, Germany
"I ordered the PTO shaft for our Peecon 1100CF, 1-3/4 inch 20 spline side to the mixer, 1-3/8 inch 6 spline to the John Deere 6130M. Delivery to Bavaria took 22 days by sea freight plus truck. Installation without any problems, clutch adjusted cleanly, no slippage on a fully loaded mixer with corn silage. The quality of the universal joints is really first-class, feels like original Walterscheid. Price was about 45 percent below the local dealer. Will reorder for our second farm."

Jean-Luc Marchetti, Cattle Rancher, Haute-Vienne, France
"Hello, I manage a 180-head Charolais beef operation near Limoges. Swapped out the worn original shaft on our Peecon 1300CF last September with the CMN heavy duty unit. Had a small issue initially where the spline engagement was tight, but the sales engineer walked me through installation on WhatsApp and it turned out the grease was just too thick for the cold morning. Running smooth since. Slip clutch released correctly the one time we hit a frozen block in January. Solid product, reasonable freight to France."

Robert Carmichael, Herd Manager, Somerset, United Kingdom
"Ordered this PTO shaft for our Peecon 1500CF on a 620-cow dairy in Somerset. Needed a 1000 RPM version because we run the mixer behind a Case Puma 185. Lead time was 19 days to our Bristol port, handled customs ourselves, on-farm in three weeks flat. The finish quality is honestly better than the original, the weld joints look clean and the guard bearings spin freely. Been running 320 hours since March, greased every eight hours as instructed. No issues. Already bought a second one as a shelf spare."

Hayden Peters, Dairy Farmer, Taranaki, New Zealand
"Running a Peecon 1100CF on a 95-head Jersey dairy in Taranaki. Our shaft was bent after a contractor pushed the hitch too hard during winter silage loading. CMN team quoted in 12 hours, shaft was on the truck in Auckland 23 days later. The 1-3/4 by 20 spline fitted the gearbox exactly, no tweaking. Clutch torque feels spot on, slipped once on a rock that came in with the maize silage and reset itself without any fuss. Price landed in NZ dollars was about 48 percent of what the local dealer wanted for the OEM part."

Daniel Kowalski, Feedlot Operations Manager, Queensland, Australia
"We run a feedlot finishing about 1800 head of Angus cross steers south of Toowoomba, Queensland. Two Peecon 1300CF units feeding three times per day. Bought four CMN heavy duty shafts in one order to refresh the whole fleet, delivered to Brisbane in 26 days. Installation took my farmhand and me about 40 minutes per unit including greasing. Six months in, no warranty claims, no slipping, no leaking guard bearings. Sales team's English was clear and the invoices matched the PI exactly. Reliable supplier, would recommend to other Aussie feedlots."

François Thériault, Dairy Farm Owner, Quebec, Canada
"Installed the CMN shaft on our Peecon 1500CF at a 350-cow dairy near Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. Canadian winters are brutal on drivelines, minus 28 degrees some mornings and we still have to feed. The nano-ceramic finish has held up much better than the painted OEM we replaced, no flaking where salt from the yard hits it. Only minor criticism is that the shipping crate arrived with a small dent, but the shaft itself was fine. I would just ask the shipping team to add an extra layer of foam for winter Canadian orders."

Carlos Eduardo Barbosa, Feedlot Manager, Mato Grosso, Brazil
"Hello, we manage a 900-head feedlot in Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso. We bought the CMN PTO shaft for our Peecon 1300CF after the original shaft broke during harvest season. It arrived in Santos in 28 days, customs clearance took a week, and installation was straightforward. The product has been running for five months without any problems, even with sugarcane silage which is quite heavy. FOB price is very good compared to Walterscheid here in Brazil. We will order three more for the other farms in the group next season."
