Kverneland Taarup TEN-X Parts Catalog – What You Get with 56 Pages of Factory Drawings

You’ve got a TEN-X mower down. You order a “hitch pin” from the local parts house, and they hand you something that looks close but doesn’t fit. Now you’re burning daylight, chasing a part that might be wrong. That stops when you have the factory Kverneland Taarup TEN-X Parts Catalog in your hand. This isn’t some aftermarket copy with blurry sketches. It’s a 56-page document straight from Kverneland Taarup, with every part drawn from the same perspective – “skråt bagfra” (angled from the rear). Danish, English, French, German. That means left and right are referenced to the machine’s travel direction, no guesswork.

I’ve seen more parts lists than I care to count. Most skip the details that keep a machine running. This one doesn’t. It breaks down the TEN-X into every subassembly – main frame, pick-up, hitch, PTO shafts, chains, hydraulics. Each section has its own page reference, and the parts are numbered so you can call your dealer and read off a factory number. No more “I need a thingamajig for the snittecylinder.” You’ll say “Part number 26.030.552, item 12.” That’s the difference between a Monday fix and a Friday headache.

Main Frame and Drawbar: Page 7 – Hovedramme, Hjul, Trækstang

Page 7 covers the backbone of the machine. The frame, wheels, and drawbar assembly. Every bolt, every spacer, every weldment is drawn in a clear exploded view. If you’ve ever had a drawbar crack because you torqued a M12 to 90 ft-lbs when it needed 55, you know why OEM drawings matter. This catalog doesn’t give torque specs – it’s a parts list, not a service manual – but it shows you exactly which spacer ring (Distanzring) goes where. Combine it with a factory service manual, and you’ve got the whole picture. Need a Massey-Harris-Ferguson FF 30 GS 1957 Parts Catalog | OEM Fastener Guide for reference? That one’s solid, but this is your T A A R U P.

Pick-Up Assembly: Page 29 – Pick-Up

The pick-up on a TEN-X takes abuse. Stones, dirt, wet grass. The pick-up section (page 29) lists every finger, cam track, and bearing. One look at the drawing tells you whether that worn finger is standard equipment or an optional add-on. The catalog notes that the list is not divided by factory combinations – you have to identify what’s standard vs. extra. That’s why you need the original drawing. Aftermarket catalogs will merge parts from different years and call it “compatible.” This manual shows you the exact configuration as shipped. If you’re rebuilding a pick-up, you want the right tine holder, not a guess. Also check out Futura Wear Technology Parts Catalog if you deal with wear parts – different brand, same principle of OEM indexing.

Hitch and Coupling: Page 33 – Hitch

Page 33 lays out the hitch assembly – Kupplung in German, Hitch in English. It’s not a generic hitch diagram. It’s the specific drawbar yoke, pin, and locking mechanism for the TEN-X. I’ve seen failed hitches because someone swapped in a clevis that looked right but had a different pin diameter. The drawing includes a clear callout for the gaffel (fork) and låseskive (lock washer). If you need to order a replacement hitch, you pull this page, read off the item number, and get the correct Kverneland Taarup part. No second-guessing.

PTO Shaft and Cutting Cylinder: Page 17 – Kraftoverføringsaksel, Snittecylinder

Page 17 covers the PTO shaft and the cutting cylinder assembly. The chain and belt drive (Kæde- og remtransmission) is on page 19, but the PTO itself is here. The exploded view shows the complete shaft, including the universal joint, sliding yoke, and shear bolt location. If you’ve ever had a shear bolt snap at the wrong torque, you know that using a grade 5 bolt when the spec calls for a grade 8 is a recipe for downtime. The catalog lists the exact bolt designation (M12, M10) and the correct part number. You won’t find that in a generic parts cross-reference. LANDTRAC TRACTOR Parts Manual Models 410-550 DTC – Section: Numerical Index shows a similar approach – numerical indexing that lets you find any part by its factory number. This manual does the same.

Why OEM Documentation Beats Aftermarket Lists

Aftermarket parts catalogs are dangerous. They combine multiple model years, omit fasteners, and sometimes show the wrong perspective. This Kverneland Taarup catalog has a note on page 3: “Listen er ikke opdelt i de maskinkombinationer som leveres fra fabrikken.” That means the list doesn’t separate standard from optional equipment – you have to use the machine’s serial number and delivery year. An aftermarket list would ignore that and let you order a part that doesn’t fit. The factory catalog respects the build. You need to provide your machine’s serial number when ordering? Fine. That’s how you get the right part. The manual also states that only original Kverneland Taarup parts should be used. That’s not marketing – it’s liability. I’ve seen aftermarket chains snap because they were 0.5mm too thin. The OEM drawing shows the exact chain pitch and roller diameter. No guesswork.

7 Systems Covered – From Hydraulics to Electrical

Let’s list the systems that are broken down in this catalog:

• Main frame, wheels, drawbar (page 7)
• PTO shafts, cutting cylinder, sharpening device (page 10–14)
• Chain and belt transmission (page 19)
• Hydraulics (page 21)
• Suspension, gear, and coupling (page 23)
• Discharge chute, shielding, and electrical (page 26)
• Pick-up (page 29)
• Hitch (page 33)

Each section uses the same 45-degree rear perspective, so you can align the drawing with the actual machine. That consistency is rare in aftermarket documents. The spare parts list for a Automotive Industry Overview might not apply here, but the principle of standardized drawings is universal. If you want to understand why OEM documentation matters, read the Automotive Industry Overview – then come back to this catalog and see how it applies to farm equipment.

FAQ – Kverneland Taarup TEN-X Parts Catalog

Does this catalog include service procedures like how to replace the pickup reel?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows exploded views and part numbers so you can order the correct components. For step-by-step removal and installation, you’ll want the separate service manual.

Can I use this catalog to identify parts for a TEN-X built in 2010?

Yes, as long as you have the machine’s serial number and delivery year. The catalog is not broken down by model year, but the drawings cover all TEN-X variants. You will need to match the part number to your specific configuration. If you have a later production machine, check the supplement at the end of the manual for updates.

How many pages does this catalog have?

56 pages.

What languages are in the catalog?

Danish, English, French, and German. All part numbers and drawings are language-independent, but the callouts are in each language. This makes it usable across North America where English is the primary language.

Bottom line: if you’re working on a Kverneland Taarup TEN-X, this 56-page parts catalog is the only way to order the exact factory parts. Aftermarket lists will waste your time. Don’t learn the hard way. Access the Factory Manual now.
