Hi everyone!

I recently bought a Bomford RS18 Topper without realising it didn't come with a PTO shaft, would anyone know how I can find out what it is I need to buy and where to buy it?

Thanks

we found the cheapest way was to buy a bit of equipment which was totally dead and take the PTO off it and put it on! sounds daft but cost very little - local car garage (independent type) did it.

Speak to someone in your local agricultural dealers. They may even have something second hand. You need one of these

Size and length dependent on the equipment being used and HP of tractor.

If it is too long it can be cut down with a hacksaw but you need to slice a similar amount off either half so that the one half of the shaft can freely float when the topper is lowered and raised
