PTO Driven Trailer

PTO-driven trailers derive power from a tractor’s Power Take-Off (PTO) system to propel the trailer’s wheels. This solution grants both the tractor and the trailer a six-wheel drive capability.
Extremely useful in environments with high rain fall, as well as in hilly terrain or soft ground conditions.

PTO Driven Trailer

Solution for hilly terrain and soft ground conditions

PTO driven trailers, also known as “Driven Trailers,” derive power from a tractor’s Power Take-Off (PTO) system to propel the trailer’s wheels. This operation specifically utilises the tractor’s Ground Speed PTO. Consequently, the trailer no longer relies on being ‘pulled’; instead, it moves in tandem with the tractor, granting both the tractor and the trailer a six-wheel drive capability.

Description

Advantages of using a PTO Driven Trailer
  • Enhanced Off-Road Capability: Transforming the tractor and trailer into a full 6×6 wheel drive configuration, as opposed to a standard 4×4 setup, provides superior traction, especially when navigating hills or encountering wet conditions.
  • Optimal Traction Distribution: With full traction transmitted from the tractor to the trailer wheels, reliable traction is consistently ensured during uphill climbs or in challenging weather conditions.
  • Improved Load Distribution: The presence of all wheels in contact with the ground facilitates better load distribution. This setup allows each wheel to contribute effectively when ascending slopes or engaging in engine braking during descents.
  • Reduced Stress on Tractor Components: This solution results in decreased stress and maintenance requirements for the tractor’s axles and transmission. The axles operate with more appropriate loads, minimizing the risk of overloading failures.
  • Fuel Efficiency: Hauling the same loads with less horsepower, thanks to the efficiency of the PTO driven system to transport loads instead of pulling, translates to reduced fuel consumption on the tractor.
  • Enhanced Accessibility in Challenging Terrain: The PTO driven trailer solution makes it easier to navigate difficult areas, thereby improving overall productivity for farms and plantations.
  • Minimise Field Road Damage: The minimal wheel spinning of the tractor (while ascending) translates to less damage to field roads. This not only ensures smoother operations but also leads to long-term cost savings by reducing the need for extensive road maintenance.
