The situation with rotary cutter driveshaft lengths is different from other machines that have shorter drivelines, such as a rear mounted tiller or snow blower. On those machines, the distance between the tractor PTO shaft and the implement gearbox is so short that the shaft has to be cut to the correct length for the tractor involved so the drive line doesn"t bottom out or come apart through the full range of lifting and lowering. With a rotary cutter, the shaft is much longer, which inherently gives a greater range of engagement between the front half of the shaft and the rear half, eliminating the need for having to cut the shaft to an exact length. Rotary cutter manufacturers use the proper length driveshaft assembly to allow for this, and, because on any PTO driveline you always want the front half the same length as the rear half, when you are replacing just one half, it should always be the same length as the the other. This is the general rule when fabricating or modifying PTO drivelines. I hope I don"t come off sounding preachy here. If I do, that is not my intention. I have been building PTO drivelines for 25 years and have been through most of these situations.
