FRONT-PTO SYSTEM
with adjustable, proportional engagement
Zuidberg Front-PTO provi-
des power delivery to the
highest technical standards.
The PTO features an inter-
nal oil immersed multi-plate
clutch. Engagement of the
clutch is controlled by a
proportional and adjustable
engagement system. This
guarantees a smooth uptake
of power to front mounted
implements. When disen-
gaged the PTO is braked but
to help connection of mach-
ines the PTO output shaft
features the ECON connec-
tion system. ECON allows
the user to manually turn the
output shaft through 60 deg
when linking up a machine.
The PTO has its own inte-
grated oil system requiring
no external oil supply from
the tractor. Fitting times of
the PTOs are reduced and
reliability is increased with
this system.

For almost every type of trac-
tor there is a Zuidberg Front
PTO available. Zuidberg pro-
vide the broadest range of
Front PTO’s available. For
higher power delivery appli-
cations the Zuidberg PTO
is supplied with an oil cool-
er. The oil cooler allows the
Rams
All rams have a hardened
and chrome plated ram-
rods. At the ends of the
ram are industrial greasable
and replaceable bearings.
These bearings guarantee
a long life without play on
the rams.
Lift frame
Strength and design cha-
racterize the cast iron base
frame. The lift frame is
manufactured from nodular
cast iron, which guarantees
optimum rigidity. In folded
position the arms are folded
in towards the tractor. The
compact construction pro-
vides the user with excellent
serviceability and integration
with the tractor.
gearbox to maintain correct
operating temperatures even
in extreme operating condi-

is braked when disengaged
eliminating shaft drag in
cold conditions.

Finishing
All parts of the linkage
are de-burred and hot
phosphated before being
electro-statically sprayed
with two component paint.
Multi-Valve
The Multi-Valve can be set
to work the linkage either
as single acting or double
acting. The linkage can also
be locked hydraulically in its
transport position.
systems each input drive
shaft is designed with ser-
vice in mind. Using diffe-
rent driveshaft combination
replacement of items such
as V belts is made easier.
Ball ends
All Zuidberg’s front link-
ages have, except for a few
models, ball hook ends with
balls included. This allows
safe and reliable mounting
and dismounting of imple-
ments.
Lift arms
The solid arms are manu-
factured of special, high-
quality steel. The lift arms
have three different posit-
ions (fixed, float and folded).
The arms can be changed
into locked, float and folded
positions by the hardened
locking pin.
PRACTICAL
ADVANTAGES
for the user

There are three main advantages of the Zuidberg Front link-

age and PTO systems, labour, fuel and more efficient use of
the tractor.
Various operations can be combined on to one tractor and
performed at the same time. For a lot of crop growers, dairy
farmers, fruit growers and contractors a front linkage and
PTO are the norm for their tractor. Due to the advantages
the linkage offer they can’t imagine working without them in
their daily work operations.

Some examples of possibilities and advantages a Zuidberg

system offers to you are:

• Soil preparation and sowing can be done in just one single

run with a front press or rotary tiller in the front linkage and
a sowing machine on the rear hitch;
• Planting potatoes goes quick and accurate with a rotary
tiller on the front of the tractor and a planter on the back;
• Haulm topping and harvesting potatoes can be done in a
single work run;
• Efficient mowing with the mower front mounted and
pickup at the rear;
• Ensile grass into the clamp is made extremely efficient with
a buck rake on the front linkage of the tractor;
• Fruit growers make use of the Zuidberg system by combi-
ning mowing and spraying in a single run;
• Improved visibility of the machines mounted on the front
linkage reduces stress for the user.

 THE ENTHUSIASTIC
USER
speaks out

”Ever since I started using a Zuidberg front linkage system,

the efficiency of my tractor usage has increased massively.
I see that as profit from my front linkage an PTO. I am now
able to combine different operations, and that saves me a lot
of precious labour. In the past I lost a lot of time on several
consecutive operations. Sometimes I even had to call on an
extra tractor and driver. My experience tells me... every tractor
unquestionably should have a Zuidberg system fitted to it !”
