Description

When you’re turning hay in variable conditions, the last thing you need is a seized tedder when you hit wet spots or heavy windrows. This 54-inch Weasler driveline comes with an over-running clutch at the implement end that protects both your tractor and tedder from costly damage when things bind up unexpectedly. It’s the kind of protection that pays for itself the first time it saves you from a major repair.

What You’re Getting

Over-running clutch protection prevents expensive damage when your tedder hits obstacles or binds in heavy hay
54-inch compressed length provides proper clearance for most hay tedder applications without bottoming out
Quick disconnect tractor yoke lets you hook up fast when weather windows are tight
Heavy-duty trilobe tubing transfers power smoothly while handling the constant flexing of tedder work
Standard 1-3/8″ 6-spline connections fit most tractors in the 40-100 HP range

Built for Real Farm Work

This driveline is designed specifically for hay tedders where you’re constantly raising, lowering, and maneuvering through fields with varying terrain. The over-running clutch is especially valuable when tedding heavy windrows or working slopes where momentum can cause binding. Whether you’re fluffing cut hay to speed drying or spreading swaths for better air circulation, this shaft handles the stop-and-go nature of careful hay work.

Made to Last

The robust construction handles shock loads from varying field conditions while the Series 4 universal joints are built for the medium-duty applications typical of hay equipment. The protective shields keep debris out while the sealed joints maintain lubrication even in dusty haying conditions.

Good to Know

The over-running clutch only works in one direction, so make sure your tedder rotation matches the shaft installation. If one U-joint shows wear, rebuild them all since they wear at similar rates, and keep grease fittings accessible for regular maintenance. Most operators grease the driveline every 8-10 hours during hay season to prevent premature wear.
