Crop Farming and Cereal Production

In large-scale arable farming, this fertilizer spreader gearbox drives broadcast spinner discs that distribute granular NPK blends, urea, and compound fertilizers uniformly across wheat, maize, rapeseed, and soybean fields. Even fertilizer coverage at 12-28 meter spread widths ensures consistent nutrient availability at every point of the root zone, maximizing yield potential across the entire cultivated area while reducing the likelihood of nutrient-deficiency patches developing mid-season.

Pasture and Livestock Grassland Management

Dairy, beef, and sheep farmers rely on fertilizer spreader gearboxes to maintain productive permanent pastures by distributing nitrogen, phosphate, and lime evenly across grazing land. Consistent spreading prevents the creation of over-fertilized patches that produce lush but unpalatable grass alongside under-fertilized areas with poor sward density, ensuring the entire pasture delivers high-quality, nutritious forage throughout the growing season for optimal livestock performance.

Onderhoud van gazons, sportvelden en golfbanen

Turf managers on golf courses, sports pitches, and municipal parks use compact fertilizer spreader gearboxes to apply slow-release granular fertilizers, iron sulphate, and sand topdressings at precise, low application rates without visible streaking or localized burn. The consistent rotational output at low torque settings makes this gearbox suitable for the controlled, aesthetically sensitive application environment of high-quality turf management where application uniformity directly impacts surface playability and visual presentation.

Horticulture, Nurseries, and Greenhouse Production

Commercial nurseries and greenhouse operators use fertilizer spreader gearboxes in both mobile and fixed spreading equipment to distribute controlled-release fertilizer granules across growing media, container rows, and open-ground production beds. The precise output speed control ensures even fertilizer coverage across sensitive ornamental crops, potted plants, and soft fruit production where nutrient imbalances caused by uneven application can cause visible foliar symptoms that reduce the marketable quality of the entire crop batch.

Soil Amendment and Lime Application

Agricultural lime, gypsum, and granular soil conditioners are routinely spread using the same spreader platforms and fertilizer distributor gearbox configurations used for conventional fertilizers. The L-25A handles the variable particle sizes and bulk densities typical of prilled lime and pelleted gypsum without gearbox overloading, making it a cost-effective drive solution for soil pH correction programs across arable rotations where lime application is needed every four to six years as part of planned soil health management.

Orchards, Vineyards, and Permanent Crops

In orchard and vineyard environments where inter-row spacing limits spreader width and ground clearance is restricted, this compact aluminium gearbox enables precise fertilizer delivery between tree and vine rows without disturbing root systems or causing mechanical damage to trunk bases. The consistent torque output at lower travel speeds suits the precision spreading requirements around perennial crop root systems where nutrient placement directly influences fruit quality, yield consistency, and long-term crop productivity across multi-decade growing cycles.

Landscaping and Gardens Farming

Small-scale agricultural operations, market gardeners, and professional landscaping contractors use lighter-duty fertilizer spreader gearboxes mounted on compact tractor platforms to distribute granular fertilizers across flower beds, vegetable plots, and ornamental planting areas. The 4.1 kg unit weight makes installation and removal straightforward for operators working across multiple sites with a single spreader machine, and the aluminium housing withstands the varied chemical exposures associated with the diverse range of fertilizer products used in mixed horticultural and landscaping applications.

Band Saw Power Transmission

Beyond agricultural spreading, the L-25A gearbox's 1:3 speed-up ratio and dual 25 mm shaft connections make it applicable to PTO-driven band saw equipment used in timber processing and firewood production. The unit delivers the sustained rotational output needed for steady band saw blade speed when powered from a tractor PTO, providing a compact and cost-effective drive solution for farm workshops and forestry operations where PTO-powered machinery is preferred over dedicated electric motor drives.

Fertilizer Spreader Gearbox Manufacturing Process

1. Material Selection and Incoming Quality Control
Premium aluminium alloy billets for the housing and alloy steel bar stock for all gear and shaft components are subjected to incoming material certification checks, including chemical composition verification and mechanical property testing, before entering production. All raw materials are traceable to mill certificates, ensuring that housing castings and gear steel meet the dimensional stability and hardness specifications required for agricultural gearbox applications operating across wide temperature ranges and under variable dynamic loading conditions.

2. Housing Die Casting and Machining
The aluminium housing is produced by high-pressure die casting to achieve near-net-shape geometry with consistent wall thickness and dense, porosity-free microstructure throughout. Following casting, CNC machining centres bore bearing seats, face the mounting flange, thread oil fill/drain ports, and drill the four mounting clearance holes to the precise dimensional tolerances shown in the engineering drawings. Machined surfaces are verified against the design specification using coordinate measuring equipment before the housing progresses to the assembly stage.

3. Gear Hobbing, Grinding, and Heat Treatment
Bevel gear blanks are rough-turned from alloy steel bar stock before undergoing gear hobbing or milling to generate the tooth profile geometry. After profile generation, gears are case-carburized and hardened to achieve a surface hardness of 58-62 HRC with a tough core retained beneath the hardened case. Gear flanks are subsequently ground to the required profile accuracy class, ensuring the matched bevel gear pairs operate with low noise levels and uniform load distribution across the tooth face width at all operating torque levels.

4. Shaft Turning, Keyway Milling, and Surface Finishing
Input and output shafts are precision-turned and ground to the 25 mm outside diameter specification with the close tolerances required for interference or transition fits with their respective bearings and couplings. Keyway slots are milled to exact width and depth specifications, and all shaft shoulders are finished to the correct radii to prevent stress concentration at the bearing seat transitions. Final shaft surfaces are inspected for roundness, cylindricity, and surface finish before clearance for assembly.

5. Sub-Assembly of Shaft and Bearing Units
Bearings are pressed onto input and output shaft journals using controlled-force hydraulic presses that apply the correct axial installation load without damaging bearing raceways. Shafts with bearings fitted are assembled with their respective bevel gears, and backlash between the matched gear pair is set precisely using shim adjustments at the bearing carrier positions within the housing. Correct backlash setting is critical for achieving specified noise levels and load distribution across the gear tooth faces during field operation.

6. Final Assembly, Sealing, and Torque Testing
After sub-assembly, oil seals are pressed into housing bores at shaft exit points, the housing halves are joined with sealant applied to mating faces, and all housing fasteners are torqued to specification. Each completed gearbox unit undergoes a no-load run test to verify smooth rotation, check for noise anomalies, and confirm correct output shaft rotation direction. Housing fastener torque is verified after initial run-in to account for any gasket compression settling before units are cleared for final packaging and dispatch.

7. Final Inspection and Dimensional Verification
Completed gearboxes are subjected to a full dimensional check of all external interfaces including shaft diameters, mounting hole positions, and overall envelope dimensions against the Comer L-25A reference drawings. Shaft runout is measured at both connection points to ensure compatibility with spreader coupling alignment requirements. Units that pass all dimensional, functional, and visual inspection criteria are tagged with batch traceability codes and packaged in protective cartons with installation and oil-filling instructions included for end-user reference.

8. Corrosion Protection and External Finishing
Exposed external housing surfaces and unpainted steel components receive an appropriate protective finish to resist the corrosive environment created by fertilizer dust accumulation, rain, and field moisture during seasonal storage between spreading campaigns. The aluminium housing's natural oxide layer provides inherent corrosion resistance, but all external steel fasteners, plugs, and exposed shaft surfaces receive additional phosphating or zinc coating treatments to prevent red rust formation that could compromise the structural integrity of threaded interfaces during long-term outdoor storage on farm.

Onderhoudstips

1. Monitor Fertilizer Spreader Gearbox Oil Level Regularly
Check the fertilizer spreader gearbox oil level before the start of each spreading season and at regular intervals throughout. The unit requires 0.35 L of 80W-90 SAE gear oil. Perform the first oil change after 50-70 operating hours to flush any manufacturing residues or initial wear particles, then repeat at 500-hour intervals or at least once annually. Low oil level is the leading cause of premature bearing and gear failure in agricultural gearboxes, and running any unit even briefly below the minimum oil level can cause catastrophic internal damage.

2. Inspect Seals and Shaft Areas for Fertilizer Ingress
Fertilizer dust is abrasive and chemically corrosive, making oil seal inspection a critical maintenance task after each spreading session. Examine the shaft exit points on both the input and output sides for signs of oil weeping outward (indicating a leaking seal) or discoloration from fertilizer dust compacted around the lip seal area. Replace seals at the first sign of weeping or cracking to prevent fertilizer contamination of the oil supply, which would rapidly accelerate gear and bearing wear through abrasive contamination of the lubricant film.

3. Check Mounting Fasteners and Shaft Connections Before Each Season
Verify that all four mounting bolts securing the gearbox to the spreader chassis are torqued to the correct specification before beginning seasonal spreading operations. Loose mounting fasteners allow the gearbox to move under the dynamic loads of field operation, generating fretting corrosion at the mounting flange interface and creating misalignment between the gearbox output shaft and the spreader's disc drive coupling. Also check disc bolts, agitator mounting hardware, and shaft key retaining fasteners, replacing any that show corrosion or deformation after the previous season's use.

4. Clean the Gearbox Thoroughly After Each Spreading Campaign
After completing each spreading campaign, wash the external surfaces of the gearbox housing with fresh water and a mild cleaning agent to remove all residual fertilizer deposits before they concentrate and intensify their corrosive effect during off-season storage. Pay particular attention to the shaft seal areas and mounting flange perimeter where fertilizer accumulates in crevices. Allow the gearbox to dry completely before storing, and apply a light corrosion inhibitor to any exposed unpainted steel surfaces that show early signs of surface rusting after chemical exposure during field use.

5. Inspect for Noise, Vibration, and Unusual Resistance During Operation
During spreading operations, periodically disengage the PTO and re-engage at low speed while listening for any change in operating noise from the gearbox, including new grinding, rumbling, or whining sounds that were not present at the start of the season. Increased operating noise typically indicates developing bearing wear, gear tooth damage, or inadequate lubrication within the unit. Catching these symptoms early allows the gearbox to be withdrawn from service for inspection and repair before a minor internal fault escalates into complete drivetrain failure in the middle of a critical spreading window.

6. Confirm Compatibility Before Ordering Replacement Parts
Before ordering this L-25A replacement gearbox or any fertilizer spreader gearbox parts, confirm that your spreader's PTO speed is 540 RPM, that the input and output shaft diameters match the 25 mm specification, and that the four-bolt mounting pattern aligns with your current spreader frame dimensions as shown in the dimensional drawings. Verify the required gear ratio (1:3 for this unit), and check that your spreader application falls within the 5 kW / 30 N·m operating envelope. Using an incompatible gearbox will result in either mechanical overload or insufficient output speed for effective spreading performance.

Versnellingsbak en aftakas van een kunstmeststrooier

The Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft is the mechanical bridge that carries engine power from the tractor's gearbox output flange to the input shaft of the fertilizer spreader gearbox. On agricultural tractors worldwide, the PTO output rotates at a standardized speed of 540 RPM at the category 1 or category 2 stub shaft, enabling a universal connection standard across tractor makes and equipment types. The PTO shaft itself consists of telescoping steel tubes containing a splined inner shaft that allows the shaft length to change as the three-point hitch raises and lowers the spreader during headland turns, while universal joints at both ends accommodate angular misalignment between the tractor PTO stub and the gearbox input shaft throughout the full range of hitch movement.

PTO shafts used with fertilizer spreader equipment are typically shielded with a plastic protective cover that rotates freely on bearings, preventing crop debris, clothing, and body parts from contacting the rapidly rotating drive shaft. The standard 1-3/8 inch, 6-spline (Z6) female cup connection at the spreader-end of the PTO shaft engages directly with the input stub shaft of the fertilizer spreader gearbox, locking the two components into a single rotating drive assembly for the duration of the spreading operation.

The fertilizer spreader gearbox receives 540 RPM rotational power from the PTO shaft and transforms it through the internal bevel gear set into the 1,620 RPM output speed required to drive the spinner discs at the correct velocity for wide, even broadcast spreading. Without the gearbox, the PTO shaft would deliver raw tractor engine torque at a speed and direction incompatible with the spinner mechanism's requirements. The gearbox performs three simultaneous functions in this drive chain: it changes the direction of rotation by 90 degrees through the bevel gear set, it multiplies the output rotational speed by the 1:3 ratio, and it converts the high-torque, lower-speed PTO input into the lower-torque, higher-speed output that lightweight spinner discs require for effective fertilizer broadcast performance.

When the tractor operator engages the PTO lever, power flows from the tractor engine through the transmission PTO output shaft, through the telescoping driveline, through the universal joints, and into the gearbox input shaft. From there, the bevel gear set redirects and multiplies the rotation before delivering it to the output shaft connected to the spreader disc drive assembly. The entire system from PTO stub to disc centre operates as a single, continuous mechanical drive chain, with the gearbox acting as the critical conversion and direction-change node that makes the whole system functionally effective for agricultural spreading applications.

When pairing a PTO shaft with the L-25A Fertilizer Spreader Gearbox, several technical parameters must be matched to ensure a safe, effective, and mechanically compatible drive installation. The input connection of this gearbox accepts a 1-3/8 inch (approximately 35 mm) diameter stub shaft with a 6-spline (Z6) engagement profile as referenced in the Comer L-25A technical drawings, so the PTO shaft's spreader-end cup connection must match this spline specification exactly. The PTO shaft torque rating must be sufficient to carry the 5 kW maximum input power at 540 RPM continuously without shaft twist deformation or universal joint failure during peak spreading loads.

PTO shaft length selection depends on the distance between the tractor's PTO stub shaft and the gearbox input shaft in the working position, with the shaft compressed to its minimum length when the hitch is fully raised and extended to near maximum when the hitch is lowered to the working depth. Typically, the shaft should operate at between 20% and 80% of its total telescoping range in the working position, with adequate compression remaining to prevent separation when the hitch rises during headland turns. A shaft that is too short will separate dangerously during normal hitch operation, while one that is too long will bottom out on its telescoping tubes when the hitch is raised, creating a rigid connection that applies damaging axial loads to the gearbox input bearing.

For the L-25A Gearbox operating on standard 50-150 HP tractors with a rear-mounted fertilizer spreader, PTO shafts in the 1,000-1,400 mm total closed length range with adequate torque ratings are commonly used, though the exact specification should be measured from the tractor hitch geometry for each specific installation. Always ensure the PTO shaft guard is in place and in good condition before each spreading session, and inspect both the shaft and the gearbox input connection for wear, wobble, or spline damage at the start of each season before placing the machine back into productive field use.

Fertilizer Spreader Gearbox vs. Manure Spreader Gearbox

Wat is een versnellingsbak voor een kunstmeststrooier?

A fertilizer spreader gearbox is a mechanical power transmission component mounted between the tractor's PTO shaft and the spreading mechanism of a fertilizer applicator. It converts and redistributes rotational input from the power take-off into the precise speed and torque required to drive spinner discs, broadcast paddles, or conveyor chains, enabling uniform distribution of granular, pelletized, or powdered fertilizers across cultivated fields. Built to handle sustained high-speed operation, these gearboxes typically feature helical or bevel gear sets housed in cast iron or aluminum alloy cases, with sealed lubrication systems that maintain consistent performance across varied terrain and load conditions.

Voordelen van een versnellingsbak voor kunstmeststrooiers

• High-Speed Spinner Drive Capability
  Fertilizer spreader gearboxes are engineered to sustain rotational output speeds that conventional gearboxes cannot reliably deliver, ensuring the spinner discs maintain the velocity needed for wide, even coverage across large field widths without product clumping or uneven distribution patterns.
• Precise Speed Ratio Control
  The internal gear ratios are calibrated to match specific application rates, allowing operators to adjust output speed in direct relation to forward travel speed. This coordination prevents over-application on headlands and under-application in mid-field runs, reducing input waste significantly.
• Corrosiebestendige constructie
  Exposure to ammonium nitrate, urea, potash, and phosphate compounds creates aggressive chemical environments. Fertilizer spreader gearboxes are manufactured with corrosion-resistant seals, coated housing surfaces, and stainless hardware to resist degradation from fertilizer dust infiltration during extended field seasons.
• Low Maintenance Lubrication Systems
  Most modern units use splash or pressure-fed oil lubrication enclosed within sealed housings, eliminating the need for frequent manual greasing. This design reduces downtime during planting windows when field hours are most critical and machine availability directly affects yield outcomes.
• Compact, Lightweight Mounting Profile
  The gearbox is designed to sit within the compact undercarriage of a spreader without adding excessive weight to the rear linkage. Aluminum alloy housings reduce overall machine mass, improving tractor draft balance and reducing soil compaction on vulnerable seedbed surfaces.

Toepassingen van de versnellingsbak van de kunstmeststrooier

• Broadcast Spreading of Granular Fertilizers
  The gearbox drives twin or single spinner discs that fling granular NPK blends, urea, or lime across field widths of 12–36 meters, making it the core component in broadcast application equipment used on row crops, pastures, and cereal grain fields throughout the planting season.
• Pneumatic Distributor Drive Systems
  In air-assisted spreaders, the gearbox powers the fan or impeller that carries fertilizer particles through distribution tubes to multiple outlet points, enabling precise boom-style application with reduced drift widely used in hilly terrain where spinner uniformity is difficult to achieve.
• Combination Seed and Fertilizer Applicators
  Twin-product machines that apply seed and starter fertilizer simultaneously use dedicated gearboxes to independently control each product stream's output speed, allowing rate adjustments for one product without affecting the other critical for precision planting systems in smallholder and commercial farming alike.
• Golf Course and Sports Turf Management
  Smaller-format fertilizer spreader gearboxes are used in turf-grade spreaders on golf fairways, sports pitches, and park grounds where uniform, low-rate granular application is essential for maintaining consistent grass health without visible streaking or burn patches.
• Orchard and Vineyard Row Application
  Narrow-width spreaders fitted with these gearboxes distribute fertilizer between vine or tree rows where boom widths are restricted. The gearbox delivers consistent torque even at the lower travel speeds required in confined inter-row spaces with uneven ground surfaces.

What Is a Manure Spreader Gearbox?

A manure spreader gearbox is a heavy-duty power transmission unit that drives the beater, auger, or paddle assemblies of a manure spreading machine. It receives rotational power from the tractor PTO and converts it into the high-torque, lower-speed output necessary to break apart, agitate, and project semi-solid or solid animal manure including cattle slurry solids, composted poultry litter, and raw farmyard manure from the spreader's discharge end. Because manure material is dense, fibrous, abrasive, and highly variable in consistency, the gearbox must sustain far higher shock loads and torque spikes than those encountered in fertilizer spreading work, requiring robust internal components and heavy cast housings to survive continuous field use under demanding conditions.

Advantages of Manure Spreader Gearbox

• Exceptional Torque Handling Under Shock Loads
  Manure spreader gearboxes are purpose-built to absorb sudden torque spikes caused by dense clods, straw-bound material, or frozen manure encountering the beater at full rotational speed. Internal shear bolt or slip clutch integration protects the drivetrain from catastrophic overload damage that would otherwise sideline equipment during busy spreading seasons.
• Heavy-Wall Housing Construction for Long-Term Durability
  The gearbox housing is typically cast from ductile iron or thick-wall steel, providing the structural rigidity necessary to withstand the sustained vibration transmitted from high-mass beater assemblies spinning through dense, uneven material loads over thousands of annual operating hours across rough farmyard terrain.
• Low-Speed, High-Torque Output Ratios
  Unlike fertilizer units tuned for speed, manure spreader gearboxes operate at reduction ratios that multiply PTO input torque significantly before it reaches the beater shaft. This mechanical advantage allows the spreading mechanism to process heavy, compacted material that would stall a lighter-duty drivetrain within seconds of engagement.
• Sealed Bearing Packages Resistant to Contamination
  Manure environments expose all mechanical components to ammonia vapors, liquid slurry, composted solids, and abrasive grit. The gearbox uses heavy-duty labyrinth seals and pressure-equalization vents to prevent contamination ingress into the bearing races and gear mesh zones that would otherwise accelerate internal wear.

Applications of Manure Spreader Gearbox

• Rear-Beater Box Spreaders for Solid Farmyard Manure
  The most common application is driving the twin or single horizontal beaters at the discharge end of a box spreader, shredding and projecting cattle or pig manure at controlled rates onto arable and grassland fields — the gearbox determines both the output torque and beater speed that define spreading pattern width and particle size.
• Vertical Beater High-Speed Spreaders
  High-output vertical beater machines, commonly used for rapid stockpile clearance on large livestock farms, rely on heavy gearboxes to sustain the aggressive rotational forces needed to process material at rates exceeding 20 tonnes per hour without overheating or mechanical fatigue within the drive assembly.
• Slurry Tanker Agitator Drives
  In semi-solid slurry tank applications, the gearbox powers agitator paddles or pump impellers that maintain consistent slurry viscosity within the tank during transit and before discharge, preventing solids settlement that would otherwise create dangerous tank imbalance and uneven field application rates.
• Poultry Litter Spreaders for Broiler Operations
  Poultry house cleanout machines fitted with these gearboxes handle the densely packed, high-nitrogen litter from broiler and layer facilities, distributing it across cropland as a high-value organic amendment. The gearbox must manage the abrasive, dust-heavy litter material without seal failure across multiple cleanout cycles per growing year.

Veelgestelde vragen

Q: Is this L-25A gearbox a direct replacement for the original Comer L-25A fertilizer spreader gearbox?
A: Yes, this gearbox is engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for the Comer L-25A unit. All critical external dimensions, including the 25 mm shaft diameters on both connections, the four-bolt mounting flange hole pattern (N.4 x 11 mm), and the overall housing envelope, match the original Comer specifications. You should be able to mount this unit on your existing spreader frame using your existing hardware without any modification. We recommend cross-checking the mounting dimensions shown in our drawings against your original unit before installation to confirm fit.

Q: What fertilizer spreader gearbox oil should I use, and how do I check the oil level?
A: The L-25A Fertilizer Spreader Gearbox requires SAE 80W-90 gear oil, filled to a maximum capacity of 0.35 L. To check the fertilizer spreader gearbox oil level, place the gearbox on a level surface, remove the oil level plug, and confirm that oil is present at or just below the plug thread base. If oil does not reach the level plug opening, top up with 80W-90 until it begins to seep from the hole, then refit the plug securely. Perform the first oil change at 50-70 operating hours to remove initial wear particles, then repeat at 500-hour intervals or at least once per year.

Q: What does the 1:3 fertilizer spreader gearbox ratio mean in practice?
A: A fertilizer spreader gearbox ratio of 1:3 means that for every one revolution of the input shaft, the output shaft completes three revolutions. With a standard 540 RPM tractor PTO input, the output shaft of this gearbox rotates at 1,620 RPM. This speed multiplication is why the gearbox is described as a "step-up" unit: it increases the output rotational speed to the higher RPM required for fertilizer spinner discs to broadcast granular material effectively across wide spread widths. The corresponding effect on torque is a reduction from input to output, so the 5 kW input at low torque is converted into a higher-speed, lower-torque 7 HP equivalent output.

V: Waarom wordt de versnellingsbak zonder olie geleverd?
A: All fertilizer spreader gearboxes in this range are supplied dry (without oil) to comply with international shipping regulations that restrict the transport of oil-filled mechanical units as hazardous goods. Before installing and running the gearbox, you must fill it with 0.35 L of SAE 80W-90 gear oil through the fill port. Failure to fill the gearbox with oil before initial operation will result in immediate and severe internal damage to the gear set and bearings, voiding any warranty. The fill procedure is straightforward: add oil until it begins to appear at the level plug, replace both plugs securely, and wipe external surfaces clean before installation.

Q: Can this gearbox be used on spreaders that require a different input RPM than 540?
A: Deze versnellingsbak is geschikt voor een maximaal ingangstoerental van 540 tpm, wat overeenkomt met het standaard aftakastoerental dat wereldwijd op de meeste tractoren wordt gebruikt voor aan de achterzijde gemonteerde werktuigen. Als uw toepassing een ander aftakastoerental vereist, bijvoorbeeld een zuinig aftakastoerental van 1000 tpm, neem dan vóór uw bestelling rechtstreeks contact met ons op. Het gebruik van de versnellingsbak met ingangstoerentallen die aanzienlijk hoger liggen dan het nominale maximum van 540 tpm zal de ontwerplimieten van de lagers en tandwielen overschrijden, wat kan leiden tot voortijdige slijtage en een veiligheidsrisico. Op aanvraag zijn mogelijk aangepaste configuraties beschikbaar voor niet-standaard ingangstoerentallen.

V: Hoe vind ik onderdelen voor de versnellingsbak van de kunstmeststrooier L-25A, en welke onderdelen worden het meest vervangen?
A: De meest frequent te vervangen onderdelen van de versnellingsbak van de kunstmeststrooier van de L-25A-klasse zijn de oliekeerringen (vanwege slijtage door kunstmest en chemische aantasting), de lagers van de in- en uitgaande as (doorgaans na 1500-2000 bedrijfsuren of na olieverontreiniging) en de kegeltandwielset (aan het einde van de verlengde levensduur). Neem contact op met ons technische team met het modelnummer van uw versnellingsbak en het specifieke onderdeel dat u nodig heeft, dan kunnen wij u adviseren over de beschikbaarheid van het onderdeel. In veel gevallen is het vervangen van alleen de versleten keerring of het versleten lager kosteneffectiever dan het vervangen van de complete versnellingsbak, mits de behuizing en de tandwielset binnen de acceptabele toleranties blijven.

V: Is deze versnellingsbak compatibel met zowel lintzaagmachines als kunstmeststrooiers?
A: Ja. De Comer L-25A-serie, die dit apparaat moet vervangen, staat in de officiële Comer-catalogus vermeld als geschikt voor zowel kunstmeststrooiers als lintzaagtoepassingen. De overbrengingsverhouding van 1:3, het ingangsvermogen van 540 tpm en de uitgaande asdiameter van 25 mm zijn geschikt voor aftakas-aangedreven lintzaaginstallaties die veel worden gebruikt bij houtbewerking op boerderijen en het zagen van brandhout. Zorg ervoor dat het vermogen van uw specifieke lintzaaginstallatie binnen het bereik van 5 kW / 30 N·m uitgangskoppel van deze versnellingsbak valt voordat u deze aansluit op een lintzaagaandrijving.

V: Wat zijn de belangrijkste afmetingen van de L-25A-versnellingsbak voor de installatieplanning?
A: Op basis van de technische tekeningen zijn de belangrijkste afmetingen: breedte van de behuizing over het bovenste montageflensgebied van 75 mm (48+48 mm boutafstand symmetrisch geplaatst), totale hoogte van 113,5 mm van de montagebasis tot de hartlijn van de ingaande as (met 59 mm van de hartlijn tot de bovenkant), diameter van de montagegaten van 11 mm (4 gaten), buitendiameter van de ingaande as 25 mm, buitendiameter van de uitgaande as 25 mm en een totale diepte van de behuizing van 90 mm op het breedste punt. Voor een nauwkeurige installatieplanning dient u altijd uw bestaande Comer L-25A-unit op te meten of de officiële maattekeningen bij deze aanbieding te raadplegen voordat u zelf montageadapters maakt.

A: De verzendtijden variëren per bestemming, maar liggen doorgaans tussen de 7 en 14 dagen voor belangrijke markten in Europa, Noord-Amerika en Australië. Voor sommige bestemmingen in Zuid-Amerika en Afrika zijn de transittijden langer. Leveranciers van kunstmeststrooiers, distributeurs van landbouwmachines en OEM-fabrikanten die grote hoeveelheden nodig hebben, kunnen rechtstreeks contact met ons opnemen voor volumeprijzen, levertijden en mogelijkheden voor maatwerk. CMN Transmission levert tandwielkasten voor kunstmeststrooiers aan klanten in meer dan 60 landen wereldwijd en heeft logistieke partnerschappen opgezet die een betrouwbare levering in alle belangrijke landbouwregio's wereldwijd mogelijk maken.

V: Wat is het verschil tussen een versnellingsbak voor een kunstmeststrooier en een versnellingsbak voor een kunstmestverdeler?
A: Deze termen verwijzen naar dezelfde categorie componenten voor krachtoverbrenging in de landbouw. ​​"Fertilizer spreader gearbox" is de meest gebruikte term op de Noord-Amerikaanse markt, terwijl "fertiliser spreader gearbox" (met de Britse spelling van fertiliser) de standaard is in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Australië en de meeste landen van het Gemenebest. "Fertilizer distributor gearbox" is een alternatieve technische beschrijving die in sommige Europese markten en technische literatuur wordt gebruikt. Alle drie de termen beschrijven hetzelfde type unit: een versnellingsbak die aftakasvermogen overbrengt en omzet om het strooimechanisme van een kunstmeststrooier aan te drijven. De L-25A versnellingsbak voldoet aan alle drie de beschrijvingen.

Klantenrecensies

James Whitmore, Akkerbouw, Verenigd Koninkrijk
"Ik heb de L-25A versnellingsbak ongeveer vier maanden geleden op mijn Vicon kunstmeststrooier gemonteerd, nadat de originele Comer-unit versleten was. Hij paste er direct op, er waren helemaal geen aanpassingen nodig. We gebruiken hem met een aftakas van 540 Nm op onze John Deere 6130R en hij werkt perfect. We hebben er tot nu toe zo'n 800 hectare wintertarwe mee bestrooid. Het oliepeil is in orde en er zijn geen lekkages. Ik ben erg tevreden over de bouwkwaliteit voor de prijs."

Klaus Breitner, weidebeheer, Duitsland
"Ik heb deze versnellingsbak voor onze kunstmeststrooier besteld en ben er zeer tevreden over. Hij past precies zoals het origineel van Comer; alle afmetingen kloppen. De levering naar Duitsland duurde slechts 9 dagen, sneller dan verwacht. De behuizing is netjes gefreesd, geen zichtbare gietfouten. De eerste olieverversing vond plaats na 60 uur, de olie was schoon. Een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar een vervangende versnellingsbak."

Craig Fullerton, Akkerbouw, Australië
"We beheren zo'n 3200 hectare gemengde gewassen in New South Wales en verbruiken elk seizoen veel onderdelen van de versnellingsbakken van onze kunstmeststrooiers. We hebben drie van deze L-25A-units besteld als vervanging voor onze voorraad. Alle drie kwamen goed verpakt aan. We hebben ze vergeleken met onze originele Comer-units en ze passen perfect. Eén ervan draait al sinds begin winter probleemloos op onze Amazone-strooier. We bestellen graag opnieuw als we er meer nodig hebben."

Rodrigo Mendonca, Boomgaarden en wijngaarden, Brazilië
"We hebben twee van deze strooiers gekocht voor onze kunstmeststrooiers in Mato Grosso. De klantenservice was uitstekend; ze reageerden snel per e-mail en hielpen me te bevestigen dat het model compatibel was met onze machines voordat we de bestelling definitief plaatsten. De levertijd naar Brazilië was 14 dagen, wat ik erg snel vond. Beide strooiers werken goed, een verhouding van 1:3 is perfect voor onze werkzaamheden. Ik zal ze zeker aanbevelen aan andere producenten in de regio."

"Over het algemeen een prima versnellingsbak. We hebben hem gemonteerd op een strooier die gebruikt wordt op zo'n 240 hectare maïs en sojabonen in Indiana. Hij past op het montagepatroon en de asmaten kloppen. Mijn enige kleine minpuntje was dat er geen olie bij zat, wat wel in de productbeschrijving stond, maar ik had het niet goed genoeg gelezen. Nadat we hem met 80W-90 olie hadden gevuld, werkte hij perfect. Ik had 5 sterren gegeven als er een klein oliemonster bij zat. De klantenservice was erg behulpzaam toen ik een vraag stelde over het eerste olieverversingsinterval."

"We gebruiken deze versnellingsbak nu al zes maanden op een Kuhn kunstmeststrooier. De fabricagekwaliteit is echt goed, de aluminium behuizing is schoon en de lagers draaien zonder speling. De levering naar Frankrijk duurde 11 dagen, wat redelijk is. We hebben de eerste olieverversing na 65 uur uitgevoerd, zoals aanbevolen. De versnellingsbak is stil en stabiel. Ik ben tevreden met deze aankoop en beveel deze leverancier aan."

Antonio Morales, Akkerbouw, Spanje
"Ik heb deze versnellingsbak gekocht ter vervanging van de originele Comer-versnellingsbak op mijn kunstmeststrooier. Ik heb hem op mijn 85 pk tractor gemonteerd en hij werkt perfect bij 540 tpm aftakas. We hebben er al zo'n 200 uur mee gewerkt aan het strooien van kunstmest op onze graanvelden in Castilië en hij heeft nog geen enkel probleem vertoond. Hij is licht van gewicht, de aluminium behuizing is goed bewerkt en lekt niet. Een echte aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar een betaalbaar, hoogwaardig vervangingsonderdeel."

Harpreet Singh, landbouwapparatuur, India
"We hebben twee exemplaren besteld voor de strooiwagenvloot van onze coöperatie in Punjab. De communicatie verliep snel en professioneel, en ze bevestigden de compatibiliteit met onze strooiwagenspecificaties voordat we de bestelling definitief plaatsten, wat we zeer op prijs stelden. Beide versnellingsbakken kwamen in goede staat aan, goed verpakt, met een verzendtijd van 16 dagen naar India. De aluminium behuizingen zijn netjes afgewerkt en de asafmetingen kloppen. Eén exemplaar draait al op onze Vicon-strooier en presteert goed. We zullen er volgend seizoen meer bestellen."

Patrick Leblanc, Landbouwonderdelen, Canada
"Wij distribueren reserveonderdelen voor landbouwmachines in Ontario en Quebec en gebruiken deze L-25A vervangingsversnellingsbakken al zo'n twee jaar. De kwaliteit is consistent van batch tot batch en onze klanten die ze als Comer-vervanging hebben gebruikt, zijn zeer tevreden. Ze houden het goed vol tijdens het Canadese voorjaarsbemestingsseizoen, dat onder die omstandigheden zwaar kan zijn voor de machines. De verpakking is stevig en de afmetingen komen altijd overeen met de originele onderdelen. Betrouwbare leverancier, goed product."
