Kidd 280 Tractor Topper Mower: Preventing Gearbox Failures
The Kidd 280 Tractor Topper Mower is meticulously designed to offer robust and efficient performance while actively preventing gearbox failures. This 2.8m mower incorporates several intelligent features that make it highly reliable and durable.
Twin Rotor with Boron Steel Blade Carriers and Blades
The mower is equipped with a twin rotor system, utilizing boron steel blade carriers and blades. Boron steel is naturally strong and durable, ensuring long-lasting use and a reduced likelihood of mechanical issues. The blades are designed to be particularly resilient with a hard exterior for impact resistance and a ductile centre for shock absorption.
Free Swinging Blades for Shock Load Reduction
One of the key features contributing to gearbox protection is the use of free swinging blades. These blades are designed to swing freely, which decreases the shock loads transferred to the gearbox. By significantly reducing these shock loads, the Kidd 280 prevents expensive gearbox failures that are common in less advanced mower designs.
Mechanism of Shock Load Reduction
When encountering an obstacle, the free swinging blades pivot rather than forcing the shock through the mower's systems. This pivotal action absorbs the impact, shielding the gearbox from sudden and potentially harmful forces.
Blade Design: Hardened and Impact Resistant
The blades and blade carriers are through-hardened, providing an additional layer of durability and impact resistance. This design feature ensures the blades can withstand the rigors of mowing fields without transferring undue stress to the gearbox.
Deep Cranked Blades
The Kidd 280's deep cranked blades help in keeping the gearbox away from potential harm. This design elevates the system, ensuring that the gearbox does not bear the brunt of any impact with debris or uneven terrain.
Reliable Comer Gearboxes
The mower incorporates twin timed gearbox drives, featuring reliable Comer gearboxes. These gearboxes are known for their durability and high performance. Integrating such a reliable component further ensures that the entire mowing system remains efficient and experiences fewer breakdowns.
