Series 4 Round Bore Shear Bolt PTO Driveline — 34", 1-3/8" Bore, 35 HP

The Braber 69.888.049 is a Series 4 shear bolt PTO driveline that transfers tractor power to an implement while protecting the driveline from overload through a sacrificial shear bolt. Built on the BY-PY #4 Series, it pairs a 6-spline 1-3/8" quick-disconnect tractor connection with a 1-3/8" round bore shear bolt implement connection — sized for smooth-bore rotary cutters. Rated for 35 HP at 540 RPM with a 34" collapsed length, it's a direct replacement for part 69.000.049.

Power Transfer With Shear Bolt Protection

A PTO driveline is the telescoping, universal-jointed shaft that carries power from the tractor's PTO to the implement's gearbox. This one protects what's behind it with a shear bolt: when the implement overloads or the cutter hits a heavy obstruction, the sacrificial bolt is engineered to break, disconnecting the drive before the shock can damage the driveline, gearbox, or tractor PTO. Replacing a broken shear bolt is a quick, inexpensive job — so it pays to keep spares on hand. As a Series 4 driveline, it's sized for lighter-duty 540 RPM work.

Features

BY-PY #4 Series Driveline

A BY-PY #4 Series driveline delivers reliable power transfer sized for lighter-duty 540 RPM applications.

1-3/8" Round Bore Shear Bolt Connection

A 1-3/8" round bore shear bolt implement connection fits a smooth 1-3/8" round input shaft, with the shear bolt passing through to drive the load and provide overload protection — matched to smooth-bore rotary cutters.

Quick-Disconnect Tractor Connection

A 6-spline 1-3/8" quick-disconnect tractor connection makes hookup fast and tool-free.

Triangular-Profile Shafting

Triangular-profile shafting — a 36 mm inner tube (4.5 mm wall) and 43.5 mm outer tube (3.4 mm wall) — telescopes smoothly through the implement's travel while transmitting torque securely.

35 HP Rating

Rated for 35 HP at 540 RPM, the driveline suits lighter-duty implements.

34" Collapsed Length

A 34" collapsed length suits closer tractor-to-implement spacing, extending and retracting through operation.

Built for Smooth-Bore Rotary Cutters

With its shear-bolt protection and 1-3/8" round bore, the 69.888.049 is suited for:

• Smooth-bore rotary cutters with a 1-3/8" round input shaft
• 540 RPM applications where obstructions and overloads are a risk
• Lighter-duty PTO-driven work within its rating
• Replacing a worn or damaged 69.000.049 driveline

Note: Always replace with the correct shear bolt specified for the driveline — substituting a standard or higher-grade bolt defeats the overload protection and can cause serious damage or injury. Confirm spline sizes, bore, length, and speed compatibility for your tractor and implement before use. Always operate with the driveline guard in place. Product may vary slightly from images shown. Specifications are subject to change without notice — confirm details with your dealer prior to purchase.
