Used Front Power Take-Off

3 available products

Whether it's a front mower, a front shredder, a snow blade, or a combination rotary harrow: any tool working at the front of the tractor requires a front power take-off. TMC Bejenne removes front power take-off kits from tractors being dismantled in Naintré, including their gearbox, clutch, and output shaft. Each kit is workshop-tested and sold at a reduced price. For tool attachments, see our range of front tractor linkage, and for the rear power take-off, our power take-off range.

How a Tractor Front Power Take-Off Operates and Its Rotation

The front power take-off draws power at the end of the crankshaft, at the front of the engine. The PTO gearbox, often equipped with a hydraulically controlled multidisc clutch, transmits motion to the splined output shaft. The standard speed is 1,000 rpm, sometimes 540 rpm, with a rotation direction that can be reversed compared to the rear PTO depending on the tractor model. Always verify the required rotation direction and speed of your tools before selecting a kit: these are the primary characteristics of a front power take-off.

Front Tractor Linkage and Front Power Take-Off: A Combined Setup

A front linkage without a power take-off is only suitable for passive mounted tools like a weight or a blade. For powered front tools, both components work together: the linkage supports and adjusts the tool’s height, while the power take-off drives it. Installing a used front linkage with its original power take-off maintains the low position of the gearbox, ground clearance, and ease of use designed by the manufacturer. Find the corresponding linkages in our front linkage range.

Used Front Power Take-Off: Suitable Tools

  • Front mowers, often used in combination with a rear mower for haymaking.
  • Front shredders for maintaining edges, fallow land, and cover crops.
  • Snowblowers and snow throwers, sweepers for municipal use.
  • Groundworking tools powered front and rear to reduce passes.
  • High-power mounted tools on tractors of 150 hp and above.
  • Pumps and other powered tools, as long as the PTO gearbox's power limits are respected.

Front Power Take-Off Kits by Brand: John Deere, Same, or Zuidberg

Each manufacturer adapts the front power take-off to their tractor models and the tools they carry. On a John Deere series 5 or 6, the original kit mounts on the front linkage bracket and connects to the machine’s hydraulic circuit. For Same , Deutz-Fahr , and other group brands, the installation varies by generation. An adaptable front power take-off, from brands like Zuidberg, fits many models but requires a specific mounting kit for each tractor. With used parts, the original piece reuses existing mounting points and connections directly.

Adaptable and Hydraulic Front Power Take-Off Kits: Key Checks

  • Output shaft speed and rotation direction: 1,000 rpm or 540 rpm.
  • Output shaft profile: 6 or 21 splines.
  • Clutch control: hydraulic, electric, or mechanical.
  • Mounting on chassis or front linkage bracket, and anchor point spacing.
  • Power rating of the PTO gearbox, to be compared with the tool’s power, especially for high-power equipment.

Front Power Take-Off: Used Prices

The price of a used front power take-off depends on the brand, tractor model, clutch control type, and the gearbox condition. It remains significantly lower than a new kit, which can represent a considerable investment including installation. Since 1945, TMC Bejenne tests every front power take-off removed on its 11-hectare yard: checking output shaft clearance, spline condition, seal integrity, and clutch operation. With 25,000 references, we meet 90% of requests. Well maintained, a front power take-off has a long service life; clutch life mainly depends on starts under load. For a quote, call 05 86 24 00 26.

The power take-off transfers power from the tractor engine to a tool via a splined output shaft and a driveshaft with universal joints. At the rear, it drives balers, shredders, or sprayers. At the front, the front power take-off powers front-mounted tools like mowers or shredders, often in combination with a rear tool.

The price of a front linkage depends on its lifting capacity, tractor brand, and presence of a front power take-off. Used original assemblies are significantly cheaper than new fitted kits. Check our front linkage range and call 05 86 24 00 26 with your tractor model for a quote.

Yes, on most medium and high-power tractors, provided you have a suitable mounting bracket, hydraulic supply for the clutch, and enough space at the crankshaft end. An original kit taken from the same tractor model simplifies installation. Our technicians verify compatibility before any order.
