The agricultural tractor to implement driveline presents a challenge to the engineer because the universal joint angles vary continuously in three planes and telescope continuously in length, which requires a knowledgeable selection of components to attain a reasonable uniform transfer of motion. Most agricultural drivelines are designed for standard tractor pto shaft sizes and speeds. Other drivelines are used internally in the agricultural implements. International Harvester introduced the first practical pto on a farm tractor in 1918. The 540 rpm pto shaft, master shield, and drawbar relationship standard was developed by Equipment Manufacturers Institute (EMI) and American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) in 1926. In 1958 a standard for a 1000 rpm tractor pto shaft was published. In 1966 a pto shaft standard was published for higher horsepower tractors. The ASAE S203 (1994) or SAE J1170 (1993) standards give the details of the tractor pto shaft dimensions which have the following basic data: Category 1 540 rpm 1-3/8 (35 mm) x 6 Tooth Spline Shaft 2 1000 rpm 1-3/8 (35 mm) x 21 Tooth Spline Shaft 3 1000 rpm 1-3/4 (44.4 mm) x 20 Tooth Spline Shaft The operating requirements for tractors and pto driven implements are given in ASAE S207 (1994) or SAE 721 (1993). The implement input driveline (IID) is defined as two universal joints with their connecting members and fastening means for transmitting rotational power from the tractor pto to the implement input connection (IIC). The implement power to driveline categories and specifications are given in ASAE S331 (1991). (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
