Since the early days farmers have always sort ways to increase productivity and efficiency around the farm, one of the key areas to assist the farmer is incorporating machines into the daily life. The first machines relied on belt driven systems powered by steam engines but these did have their draw backs, the main one being that the machinery had to be stationary. However, over time the system was improved which allowed for traction engines to pull the implement and power it using the rotation of the engines wheels to power the implement, which was fine until the traction engine stopped moving. This called for a new system to use the tractors engine to power the implement without any limitations. The first marketable PTO system was introduced by International Harvester around the late 1910's which was closely followed by other leading manufacturers of the time.
Today, the drive shaft made by Walterscheid is composed of components with the highest quality which can be configured in such a way that they will meet all necessary requirements perfectly. Their products are suitable for applications ranging from small, economical solutions utilised in standard applications to high-performance combinations intended for continuous use and needed to deliver the highest possible drive power.
