A gearbox for hay tedders is a critical mechanical component designed to transfer power from the tractor to the tedder's rotating arms, ensuring efficient and uniform hay tedding. It plays a vital role in agricultural operations by enhancing the drying process of hay, which improves crop quality and reduces spoilage. Our gearboxes are engineered for durability, precision, and compatibility with various hay tedder models, making them an essential investment for farmers seeking reliability and performance in their equipment.
Our gearboxes are built with high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques to withstand the harsh conditions of agricultural use. They feature optimized gear ratios for smooth operation, robust housing to protect internal components, and easy installation processes. Additionally, they are designed for low maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. These features ensure that your hay tedder operates at peak efficiency, contributing to better hay management and increased productivity on your farm.
Below is a detailed list of product parameters for our gearbox models, showcasing their technical excellence and suitability for different hay tedding needs.
| Model | Input RPM | Output RPM | Gear Ratio | Weight (kg) | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GB-HT100 | 540 | 270 | 1:2 | 15 | $250 |
| GB-HT200 | 540/1000 | 300 | 1:1.8 | 22 | $320 |
| GB-HT300 | 1000 | 400 | 1:2.5 | 35 | $450 |
Our gearboxes are specifically designed for use in various hay tedder machines, including rotary and wheel-type tedders. They help in evenly spreading hay for faster drying, which prevents mold growth and nutrient loss. By improving tedding efficiency, these gearboxes contribute to higher quality forage, reduced labor costs, and extended equipment life. Farmers can expect enhanced performance in diverse field conditions, from small family farms to large-scale agricultural operations.
What is the typical lifespan of a hay tedder gearbox?
With proper maintenance, our gearboxes can last between 5 to 10 years, depending on usage intensity and environmental conditions. Regular lubrication and inspection are key to maximizing longevity.
How do I choose the right gearbox model for my tedder?
Select a model based on your tractor's PTO speed and the required output RPM for your tedder. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications or consult our product table for compatibility guidance.
Can I install the gearbox myself, or do I need professional help?
Installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience; however, we recommend following the included manual or seeking assistance from a qualified technician to ensure proper alignment and avoid damage.
What maintenance is required for these gearboxes?
Routine maintenance includes checking oil levels every 50 hours of operation, replacing oil annually, and inspecting for wear or leaks. Use only recommended lubricants to prevent premature failure.
Are these gearboxes compatible with all hay tedder brands?
Our gearboxes are designed to be universal but always verify compatibility with your specific tedder model using the mounting dimensions and shaft sizes provided in the product details.
What should I do if the gearbox makes unusual noises?
Unusual noises may indicate low lubrication, worn gears, or misalignment. Stop using the equipment immediately, inspect for issues, and contact support if necessary to prevent further damage.
Is there a warranty, and what does it cover?
Yes, we offer a 2-year warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover damage from misuse, improper installation, or lack of maintenance.
How does weather affect gearbox performance?
Extreme temperatures and moisture can impact lubrication and metal components. Store equipment in dry conditions and use appropriate oils for your climate to maintain optimal performance.
