Description
When your disc harrow starts making that grinding sound or your cultivator gang starts wobbling, chances are good you need new bearing flanges. This 80mm cast iron flange is what holds everything together on your tillage equipment—keeping disc gangs running true and handling the side loads that come with working tough ground. It’s the kind of part that doesn’t get much attention until it fails, but when it does, you’ll be glad you have a quality replacement on hand.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty cast iron construction that handles the punishment of field work better than stamped steel
- 4-hole bolt pattern with 1/2 inch bolts spaced 4 inches apart for secure mounting
- 80mm size designed specifically for 208 series bearings used on most modern tillage equipment
- Compatible with both USA and AgSmart bearing inserts, though only AgSmart inserts are greasable
- Direct replacement that mounts right up without modifications or adapters
Built for Real Farm Work
This flange is sized for 208 series bearings, which you’ll find on disc harrows, cultivators, field cultivators, and vertical tillage tools from most major manufacturers. Whether you’re working corn stalks in the fall or preparing seedbeds in spring, this is the type of equipment that sees serious hours in tough conditions. The cast iron construction stands up to the constant vibration and impact loading that comes with moving dirt and cutting through residue.
Made to Last
Cast iron might be heavier than stamped steel, but there’s a reason manufacturers use it for bearing housings. It absorbs vibration better, handles side loads without flexing, and won’t crack under stress like lighter materials. The 4-hole mounting pattern spreads the load across a wider area, giving you a more secure attachment that won’t work loose during long days in the field.
Good to Know
This is a straightforward bolt-on replacement, but here’s a tip from the field: when one bearing flange fails, check the others on that gang. They typically wear at similar rates, and replacing them all at once saves you from having to tear things apart again next season. If you’re using AgSmart inserts, don’t forget to grease them regularly—it’s the only greasable option and will extend bearing life significantly.
