WPT Power has a long-standing relationship with the agricultural sector, particularly through our collaborations with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in specialized applications such as silage bagging systems. A recent example involved a bagger manufacturer seeking a robust, 15-inch automotive-style power take-off (PTO) to integrate into their latest equipment. WPT was able to deliver an engineered solution that met both the performance and durability demands of the application.
In a typical silage bagger system, the WPT automotive-style PTO is used to transfer mechanical power from a diesel engine to a hydraulic drive system. This system powers key components, including a conveyor belt and a series of augers, all driven by hydraulic pumps through a belt-and-pulley arrangement. As freshly chopped feedstock is loaded onto the conveyor, it is moved through the augers, which compress and evenly distribute the material into an airtight plastic sleeve. Once sealed, the feedstock ferments within the bag, preserving essential nutrients and reducing spoilage.
The reliability and consistent torque delivery of WPT’s Bagger PTOs are essential in this environment, where uptime, material flow, and compaction consistency directly impact the quality and yield of the silage.
Beyond silage baggers, WPT PTOs are widely utilized across a spectrum of agricultural machinery, including irrigation power units, hay balers, slurry pumps, tub grinders, manure handling equipment, and grain transfer systems. We offer a comprehensive line of mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic PTOs designed to match the specific torque, engagement method, and environmental requirements of your equipment.
If your application demands high-performance and field-proven power take-off, WPT Power is ready to provide a custom-fit PTO solution. Contact us today or call 940-761-1971 to learn more or request a quote.
