SafeShaft replaces slurry PTO drives

A hydraulic motor which replaces the mechanical PTO drive on slurry tankers has been put on the market by Noel and Ger Hickey from Kilmacthomas, Co Waterford.

The main selling point is safety, but improved manoeuvrability of the tractor and tanker, and clearance for the tractor’s lift arms, are other considerations.

The retro-fit SafeShaft drive system replaces the PTO with a hydraulic drive system and mounting assembly.
