Throughout the years, Timken has given farmers the power to work hard and be more productive. Timken® bearings also help design engineers deliver greater load-carrying capacity, all-season reliability, and long and trouble-free life for agriculture equipment.
Row Crop Tractors
Tractors, quite literally, are the workhorse of the farm. To pull and power a barn-full of implements, tractors need horsepower. In equipment of all sizes, Timken helps get more horsepower to the ground. Whether it’s the driveline positions, gear case or wheel shafts, Timken offers a wide range of bearing types and designs to get the job done reliably and help keep it trouble-free.
Balers
Operating in a constant swirl of dust, bearings that support pulleys, drive systems and augers inside balers are often damaged by debris that finds its way inside the bearing. To compound the issue, balers are idle for most of the year, subjecting the bearings to other harsh conditions like humidity. That’s why effective sealing is the key to bearing life. Timken® Fafnir® bearings and seal components have long been industry standard, and design engineers developing new equipment innovations still turn to Timken for bearing expertise.
Combines
Probably no other piece of farm equipment leads a life of greater extremes. Idle for much of the year and then fired up and operated at full capacity for a short window of time, combines need to be dependable. Timken bearings provide dependable service in dozens of combine positions that face dusty, dirty and harsh conditions. Agriculture equipment designers can choose from a wide range of Timken® bearing designs, seals and enhancements to help ensure long, trouble-free bearing life for the many complex systems of combines.
