When you’re running a big flex wing mower behind your tractor, the PTO shaft takes a beating from all those angle changes and constant flexing. A worn half shaft starts vibrating, making noise, and eventually fails at the worst possible time—usually when you’re trying to finish cutting before the weather turns. This CV implement half shaft is built to handle those demanding flex wing applications, delivering smooth power transfer even when your mower is folded up for transport or articulating over rough ground.
What You’re Getting
- CV (constant velocity) design eliminates vibration and power loss during operation
- 61mm star tubing construction provides maximum strength for heavy-duty applications
- 1-3/4″ x 20 spline clamp yoke connects securely to your implement
- Category 6 rating handles the power demands of large flex wing mowers
- 34.625-inch compressed length fits standard flex wing mower applications
Built for Real Farm Work
This half shaft is designed specifically for Bush Hog and John Deere flex wing mowers—the workhorses that clear ditches, maintain fence rows, and tackle overgrown fields. These big mowers demand reliable power transmission, especially when you’re working steep banks or folding wings up for road travel. The CV design keeps power flowing smoothly regardless of operating angles.
Made to Last
The Walterscheid 2500 series star tubing is built for commercial applications where downtime isn’t an option. This isn’t lightweight equipment—it’s designed to handle the shock loads and constant flexing that destroy cheaper alternatives. The precision-machined CV joint and heavy-duty yoke construction ensure this part keeps working season after season.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement half shaft that connects to your existing driveline. Make sure your tractor PTO and implement input speeds match before installation. Always engage the PTO at low RPM and gradually increase to operating speed to prevent shock loading the drivetrain.
