⭐ Key Features & Engineering Advantages

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.

Magnetic Drain Plug

Neodymium drain plug captures ferrous wear particles from break-in and normal operation, protecting gears and bearings from abrasive recirculation damage.

🔄

High-Capacity Oil Sump Design

30% larger oil volume compared to standard models, reducing operating temperature by 8-12 °C during sustained high-load mowing and extending lubricant life.

🔨

Split-Line O-Ring Seal

Precision-machined housing split line with fluorocarbon O-ring eliminates the gasket creep and re-torque requirements of traditional paper or RTV gasket joints.

🌡

Low-Backlash Preloaded Assembly

Bearing preload and controlled gear mesh clearance hold total backlash below 0.08 mm, critical for reversing-load applications and precision-cut implements.

📚 Gearbox Selection Guide

A well-matched gearbox delivers years of trouble-free service. Follow this guide to confirm the EP-19455-KW is the optimal choice for your needs:

📌 Sizing Power Rating to Tractor PTO HP
The EP-19455-KW is rated at 20 HP. Always select a gearbox rated at or above your tractor’s maximum PTO horsepower. For shock-load applications (mulching, brush clearing), add a 25-30% safety margin: a 60 HP tractor should use a 75+ HP rated gearbox.
📌 540 RPM vs 1000 RPM PTO Selection
The EP-19455-KW operates at 540 rpm. Most rotary mowers use 540 RPM PTO. The 1000 RPM standard is for larger implements on high-HP tractors. Never connect a 540 RPM gearbox to a 1000 RPM PTO — the doubled speed will destroy bearings and gears within minutes.
📌 Cast Iron Housing vs Aluminium Housing
The EP-19455-KW uses a grey cast iron housing. Cast iron excels in vibration damping, impact resistance, and heat dissipation — ideal for rough, rocky mowing conditions. Aluminium is lighter and more corrosion-resistant, better suited to wet environments and weight-sensitive implements.
📌 Standard Catalog vs Custom Specification
The EP-19455-KW is available as a standard catalog item shipping in 3-5 days. If your application requires a non-standard ratio, shaft type, or mounting configuration, our engineering team offers custom designs with 4-6 week lead times. Minimum order quantities may apply.
📌 Output Shaft Type Compatibility
The EP-19455-KW features ø25 Optical axis output. Verify your blade hub or implement rotor accepts this shaft type before ordering. We offer multiple output configurations — spline, taper, keyway, and flange — to match virtually any existing installation.

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

🌾 Rotary cutting of improved pasture on dairy and beef farms

🛠 Installation & Setup Guide

  1. Insert all mounting bolts finger-tight first, then torque to specification in a cross (star) pattern to ensure even clamping. Typical torque: 80-120 Nm depending on bolt size.
  2. With the implement raised and blades clear of the ground, engage the PTO at low idle speed. Listen for any unusual noise and observe for vibration or oil leaks.
  3. Verify that the mower implement safety chain or restraint is properly connected to prevent the gearbox from contacting the ground if the three-point hitch fails.
  4. Apply a thin, even bead of RTV silicone sealant to the mounting flange face if a pre-cut gasket is not included with the new gearbox.
  5. Connect the PTO drive shaft to the gearbox input spline. Push the shaft on fully and verify it telescopes freely through the complete range of three-point hitch travel.
  6. After the first 10 hours of operation, re-torque all mounting bolts to specification and verify oil level. Perform the first oil drain and refill at 50 hours.
  7. Disconnect the tractor PTO shaft and safely support the mower implement on jack stands or blocks before beginning the gearbox installation procedure.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I visit your manufacturing facility?

We welcome factory visits and audits from prospective partners. Our production facility is equipped for full tours, and we can arrange local transport from the nearest airport. Contact us to schedule a convenient date.

❓ What is the recommended oil change schedule?

Drain and replace oil after the first 50 hours of break-in. After that, change oil every 200-300 hours or at least once per season. Always drain warm oil for complete evacuation and inspect the magnetic drain plug for metallic debris.

❓ Do you manufacture custom ratios and shaft types?

Absolutely. We offer custom gear ratios, shaft profiles, and mounting configurations. Minimum order quantities apply for fully custom designs. Lead time is typically 4-6 weeks from order confirmation.

❓ What PTO shaft should I pair with this gearbox?

Use a standard agricultural PTO shaft rated for your tractor HP output with the matching spline profile. We strongly recommend shafts with shear bolt or friction clutch protection to prevent gearbox damage from sudden overloads.

❓ How does your pricing compare to genuine OEM parts?

Our gearboxes use equivalent or superior materials at typically 30-50% less than OEM pricing. Independent testing confirms comparable or better performance and service life. The savings are significant for fleet operators.
