Description
When you’re running cotton harvest day after day, the doffer shaft is what keeps your picker working like it should. This shaft holds all 18 doffers that remove cotton from the spindles and send it up into the basket. If you’ve noticed cotton not coming off the spindles cleanly or the picker not filling like it used to, a worn doffer shaft might be the culprit.
What You’re Getting
- PickSmart replacement that fits Pro-12 series cotton pickers perfectly
- Heavy-duty construction built to handle the continuous rotation and vibration of cotton picking
- Precision 1-1/4 inch outside diameter designed to accept standard SMA272152 doffers
- Full 32-1/2 inch length gives you the complete replacement you need
- Direct replacement for worn or damaged original equipment
Built for Real Cotton Work
This shaft is made for John Deere Pro-12 series cotton pickers, the workhorses that handle everything from small family farms to big commercial operations. Whether you’re picking irrigated cotton or dryland fields, this is the same quality shaft that came on your picker from the factory.
Made to Last
Cotton picking is tough work, and doffer shafts take a beating from constant rotation, field debris, and the pressure of removing cotton from hundreds of spindles. This PickSmart shaft is built with the materials and tolerances needed to keep up with long harvest days and multiple seasons of use.
Good to Know
You’ll need 18 doffers to complete the assembly, and this shaft is sized to work with standard replacement doffers. When installing, make sure the shaft bearings are in good shape and properly lubricated—a worn bearing will eat up a new shaft in no time. It’s also a good time to check your doffer spacing while everything’s apart.
