⭐ Características clave y ventajas de ingeniería
🛠
Cartuchos de rodamientos autónomos
Los cojinetes de cartucho precargados y prelubricados se instalan fácilmente para un reemplazo rápido en el campo, reduciendo el tiempo de inactividad no planificado debido a fallas en los cojinetes hasta en 70%.
🔬
Relleno de PAO sintético, de -40 a +150 °C
Envasado de fábrica con aceite para engranajes de polialfaolefina que mantiene la estabilidad de la viscosidad desde arranques en frío en el Ártico hasta un funcionamiento prolongado a altas temperaturas en zonas tropicales, sin degradación.
⚖
Through-Hardened Spur Gear Train
HRC 56-60 alloy steel spur gears designed for the high-impact reversing loads encountered during aggressive rotary tiller soil engagement.
🚀
3× Peak Torque Output Capacity
Oversized output shaft rated for transient torques three times nominal, absorbing the repeated shock loads when tiller blades strike buried rocks and roots.
💪
500-Hour Extended Oil Intervals
Large sump capacity with high-grade EP oil enables 500-hour drain intervals, reducing maintenance frequency during the busiest planting and cultivation seasons.
⚙
Oil-Bath Splash Lubrication
Generous sump with directional baffles ensures all gear teeth and bearing races are oil-wetted at all times, even at the lowest recommended operating speed.

📚 Guía de selección de cajas de cambios
Getting gearbox selection right the first time saves money and headaches. Here is a systematic approach to specifying the EP-68:
🌾 Escenarios de aplicación típicos
🌾 Construction site vegetation clearing and preparation
🚘 Roadside and highway verge vegetation management
🌱 Pipeline and powerline easement clearing
⛰ Riparian zone and waterway bank vegetation control
🌳 Rotary tiller seedbed preparation for row crops
🛠 Guía de instalación y configuración
- Disconnect the tractor PTO shaft and safely support the mower implement on jack stands or blocks before beginning the gearbox installation procedure.
- For units weighing over 25 kg, use a chain hoist, engine crane, or two-person lift to position the gearbox. Never attempt to lift heavy gearboxes solo.
- Fill the gearbox with the recommended gear oil (SAE 80W-90 or 85W-140 EP) to the level indicated on the sight glass or dipstick. Do not overfill.
- Before operating at full load, run through a graduated break-in sequence: 30 minutes at half-throttle, then 30 minutes at three-quarter throttle, before engaging full PTO speed.
- Inspect the implement mounting pad for flatness using a straightedge. Any warping exceeding 0.5 mm should be corrected before the new gearbox is installed.
- Use Nord-Lock washers or thread-locking compound on all mounting bolts to prevent vibration-induced loosening during operation.
- Haga funcionar la caja de cambios sin carga durante 5-10 minutos, luego apáguela y vuelva a comprobar el nivel de aceite; los sellos y cojinetes nuevos suelen absorber una pequeña cantidad de aceite inicial.
