Description
When you’re out stripping cotton or running precision planting equipment, a failed bearing can shut down your entire operation at the worst possible time. This hex-bore bearing is built specifically for the demanding world of cotton strippers and planter applications where round shafts just won’t hold up. The hex design eliminates the slipping and wear you get with round bores, keeping your equipment running when every day counts.
What You’re Getting
- 1-inch hex bore that grips the shaft tight and eliminates slippage under heavy loads
- Pre-lubricated with specialty agricultural grease that handles dust and field conditions
- 2.44-inch outer diameter designed for proper fit in cotton stripper and planter assemblies
- Timken quality construction that’s been proven in agricultural applications for decades
- Sealed design keeps contaminants out while retaining lubrication where it’s needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing is engineered for John Deere cotton strippers and similar demanding applications where standard bearings fail. Cotton strippers put incredible stress on drive components with all the stopping, starting, and high-speed operation required to efficiently harvest cotton. Planters demand precision and reliability during those critical planting windows when weather and soil conditions are just right.
Made to Last
Agricultural bearings face mud, dust, moisture, and heavy loads that destroy inferior parts, so this one uses quality construction and proper heat treatment to handle demanding farm conditions. The specialty agricultural grease formulation resists washout from rain and holds up to temperature extremes from early morning dew to blazing afternoon sun.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward – just press the bearing into place and slide it onto your hex shaft. The hex bore design means you don’t need to worry about set screws or locking collars that can work loose. If you’re replacing bearings during cotton season, keep a spare on hand since these applications can be hard on components when you’re pushing to get the crop out.
