Special Features that enhance the durability of Valley Machines

Triple Lip Seal and Stainless Nipple

Provide long, leak-free life at low and high operating pressures.

LATERAL AND RADIAL WELDS

Spread loads over a wide area for maximum durability.

TRUSS RODS

Large transition radius and uniform loaded rod heads mean a lower concentration of stress and longer machine life.

DRIVE UNIT LEGS

Four braces on each side ensure stable operation in hilly conditions.

WRAP-AROUND LEG ATTACHMENT BRACKETS

Cradle the pipe to create added strength. Heavy-duty gussets eliminate pipeline twist.

OPTIMIZED SPAN

Offers more machine strength and stability as a result of evenly loaded truss angles and hot forged truss rods.

BALL-AND-SOCKET HITCH

The single-piece, forged steel ball ensures smooth span movement in all directions, minimizing stress on the pipeline
for longer machine life.

SPRINKLER OUTLET

The welded coupler strengthens the pipeline around the water outlet, minimizes pressure loss and provides better support for the sprinkler package.

TOWER BOX

Galvanized steel base construction with stainless steel shaft and nylon bearing assembly ensures long life.

You know the gearbox is the heart of your center pivot. If the gearbox isn’t working, the center pivot isn’t working.

That’s why Valley Irrigation is the only center pivot company in the world that manufactures its gearboxes in the USA.
Rather than buying the lower-cost gearboxes from overseas that our competitors use, the patented Valley gearbox is manufactured in Nebraska using only U.S. vendors that meet our quality standards.

Before it is shipped to you, each gearbox is extensively tested for functionality and durability. You can trust the Valley gearbox to provide you with long, trouble-free, economical equipment life

1

Large-capacity rubber diaphragm

Expands with heat and pressure to minimize water condensation.

2

Input and output bearings

American-made and case-hardened to provide the highest quality and load rating available in the industry.

3

Worm gear

High-strength ductile iron provides significantly longer wear life than steel and prevents gear tooth wear.

4

Tooth design

Industry-exclusive 25˚ tooth angle provides 40 percent more strength, longer life and better reliability in tough conditions compared to normal 14.5˚ tooth designs.

8

52:1 gear ratio

Full recessed tooth design keeps oil between engaged gears.

7

Threaded endcap

Allows accurate bearing preload to ensure long bearing life.

6

Expansion chamber

Cap made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminum; rubber diaphragm allows oil to expand and contract during operation. Vented cap prevents pressure buildup and prevents seal from leaking.

5

Largest bull gear neck and keyway

For extra strength in a critical
load-bearing area.

9

Bull gear

High-strength cast iron provides highest load capacity in the industry and longest life. Optional bronze gear is available for extreme conditions.

10

Multi-viscosity gearbox oil

Exceeds 85W-140 GL5 oil for long gear wear under extreme load conditions.

11

Longest output shaft (steel)

Exclusive to Valley gearboxes. Provides extra clearance between gearbox and wheel flange to reduce mud buildup, which reduces seal damage and extends
gearbox life.
