Agricultural tractors - Front-mounted equipment - Part 3: Power take-off: General specifications and location
This document gives general specification and location requirements for front-mounted power take-offs (PTO) on agricultural tractors. NOTE 1 Further specifications for front-mounted power take-offs are given in ISO 8759-1. It is not applicable to tractors which are designed to run in two directions, where either end can be considered to be the front or the rear. NOTE 2 In this case, ISO 500 (all parts) apply.
Tracteurs agricoles — Équipement monté à l'avant — Partie 3: Prise de force: Spécifications générales et emplacement
Le présent document donne des spécifications générales et des exigences relatives à l'emplacement des prises de force montées à l'avant des tracteurs agricoles. NOTE 1 De plus amples spécifications concernant les prises de force montées à l'avant sont données dans l'ISO 8759-1. Il n'est pas applicable aux tracteurs conçus pour se déplacer dans deux directions et dont chacune des deux extrémités peut être indifféremment considérée comme l'extrémité avant ou l'extrémité arrière. NOTE 2 Dans ce cas, l'ISO 500 (toutes les parties) s'appliquent.

Overview
ISO 8759-3:2018 sets out general specifications and location requirements for front-mounted power take-offs (PTO) on agricultural tractors. This international standard is designed to ensure compatibility, safety, and efficiency of front-mounted PTOs used in agricultural operations. It complements related standards such as ISO 8759-1, which covers safety requirements and clearance zones for PTOs. ISO 8759-3:2018 specifically excludes tractors designed to operate in bi-directional modes, for which ISO 500 series standards apply.
Key aspects covered include the type and rotational frequency of the PTO, its direction of rotation, and precise location specifications to harmonize fitting across different tractor models.
Key Topics
PTO Types and Rotational Frequency
The standard aligns PTO types with those defined in ISO 500-1:2014, covering Power Take-Off types 1 through 4, ensuring consistent rotational speed standards across tractor equipment.Direction of Rotation
Front-mounted PTO shafts shall rotate in an anti-clockwise direction when viewed from the front of the tractor. This is a critical safety and compatibility specification, with clear marking requirements for the direction and speed of rotation.Location Requirements
Precise positioning of the PTO unit on the tractor front is mandated according to ISO 500-3:2014 dimensions. These dimensions account for the tractor's normal tyre sizes and suspension conditions, especially relevant for front axle suspension tractors in their working positions.Terms and Definitions
The document refers to definitions standardized in ISO 8759-1, maintaining consistent terminology across related tractor and agricultural equipment standards.
Applications
Agricultural Tractor Manufacturing
ISO 8759-3 helps manufacturers design front-mounted PTOs that meet international guidelines, ensuring equipment compatibility and operator safety.Tractor Equipment Compatibility
Implements and attachments that connect via front-mounted PTO can rely on these standards for uniform fit and function, enhancing interchangeability.Safety Compliance
By standardizing rotation direction and marking, this standard contributes to safer tractor operations, minimizing incorrect PTO use.Tractor Engineering and Design
The document provides engineers with detailed specifications for integrating front PTO systems into existing tractor frameworks and new models, including consideration for suspension and tyre size variations.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
