TNT-2 Gearbox
Designed for applications where the irrigation system may need to be towed
This gearbox is the perfect solution for a towable irrigation system. Growers typically prefer this gearbox over a gearbox with a towable hub. Simply disengage the worm and tow your system to its working location, then re-engage the worm and you are ready to run. The CX coupler is the perfect compliment for the TNT-2 gearbox due to the ability to control coupler disengagement at the gearbox.
The UMC patented TNT-2 final drive gearbox is designed specifically for applications where a center CHINAMFG or lateral move/ linear irrigation system needs to be towed.

- Bronze gear optional
- Input shaft guard
- External seal protectors for input and output seals
- Top oil fill plug
- 11-Bolt mounting pattern
- Full cycle expansion chamber with stainless steel cover
- Filled with extreme pressure worm gear oil
- Steel output shaft and input shaft
- Tapered roller bearings
- Includes carriage bolts and nuts
- Dual ended input shaft
760-UV Bronze Gearbox
Designed for the most extreme conditions where an extended output shaft is required.
Growers typically use The UMC 760-UV bronze gearbox for the most extreme applications where an extended output shaft is required. The gearbox is designed for higher annual hours of operation while handling the heavy loads experienced on corner systems and lateral move carts as well as the most extreme field conditions where wheel rutting is prominent, soil is heavy, and tower weights are higher.
The UMC 760-UV Bronze final drive gearbox is our largest and most durable gearbox with an extended output shaft designed for the most extreme growing conditions. It features a high strength aluminum bronze bull gear and a heat treated steel worm gear giving it a much higher load capacity than the standard 760-UV. Additionally, this gear combination greatly reduces gear wear, extending the useful life of the gearbox. It also features a 2.5″ output shaft to accommodate more overhung load. It is designed for use on center pivots, corners, lateral move/ linear irrigation systems and carts where a 52:1 gear ratio and extended output shaft are standard specifications.
Features and Benefits
- 2.5″ output shaft
- 52:1 gear ratio with a 25° pressure angle
- Unique dual input and output seal design
- Bronze Gear
- Heat Treated Steel Worm Gear
- Larger input bearings
- Input shaft guard

Longevity of Irrigation Gearboxes: Essential Maintenance Practices
Maintaining irrigation gearboxes is crucial to ensure their longevity and reliable performance. Here are essential maintenance practices:
- Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the gearbox components to minimize friction and wear. Use the recommended lubricants and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for lubrication intervals.
- Inspections: Periodically inspect the gearbox for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Check for loose bolts, misalignment, and unusual noises during operation.
- Cleaning: Keep the gearbox clean from dirt, debris, and contaminants that could infiltrate the housing and cause damage to the gears and bearings.
- Tightening and Alignment: Check and tighten bolts, and ensure proper alignment of components to prevent excessive vibration and premature wear.
- Seal Maintenance: Maintain seals and gaskets to prevent water and contaminants from entering the gearbox, which can lead to corrosion and damage.
- Temperature Control: Monitor the operating temperature of the gearbox. Excessive heat can accelerate wear, so ensure proper ventilation and cooling.
- Replace Worn Parts: If you notice any worn or damaged components during inspections, replace them promptly to prevent further issues.
- Proper Usage: Operate the irrigation equipment within recommended load and speed limits to prevent excessive stress on the gearbox.

Handling Variations in Water Pressure and Flow with Irrigation Gearboxes
Irrigation gearboxes are designed to effectively handle variations in water pressure and flow, ensuring consistent and uniform water distribution across the irrigated area. Here's how they accomplish this:
- Pressure Regulation: Many irrigation gearboxes are equipped with pressure regulation mechanisms. These mechanisms can adjust the gearbox's internal components to accommodate changes in water pressure, maintaining a steady output regardless of fluctuations.
- Flow Control: Irrigation gearboxes can control the flow rate of water by adjusting the rotational speed of the output shaft. This control allows for precise water distribution, even when the input water flow rate changes.
- Optimized Gearing: The gearbox's internal gearing system is designed to provide consistent performance even under varying loads. High-quality materials and precision engineering ensure that the gearbox can handle different conditions without compromising efficiency.
- Feedback Mechanisms: Some advanced irrigation systems include feedback mechanisms that monitor water pressure and flow in real time. These feedback signals can be used to automatically adjust the gearbox's settings for optimal performance.
Overall, irrigation gearboxes are engineered to maintain reliable and consistent water distribution regardless of changes in water pressure and flow. This capability is crucial for ensuring that crops, plants, and landscapes receive the required amount of water for healthy growth.
