Agricultural machinery performs fundamental activities such as sowing, cultivation, and harvesting. It has seen significant innovations in recent years, to improve performance and to increase the workers’ safety. Bushings are essential for reducing friction and wear in moving parts, they are widely used in joints and moving elements such as arms and blades, but also in hydraulic cylinders and transmission shaft supports. These machines face challenges such as working on difficult terrain, transporting heavy loads, and managing agricultural activities (often exposed to bad weather), therefore, the components must be of good quality and carefully designed.
The materials used are bronze, steel, and plastic, and they vary depending on the environment and the loads.
Most common machines in agriculture
Tractors:
used for plowing, sowing, cultivating, and other agricultural activities.
They can be equipped with various attachments and accessories. They can be on wheels or tracks.
The tractor is the basic element for agriculture, being a very versatile machine to which various accessories can be attached:
Combined harvesters:
Designed to harvest, thresh, and clean cereals like wheat, rice, and corn. They are essential in large-scale crops.
Plows:
to plow the ground before sowing.
Seeders:
to plant seeds evenly in the ground.
Fertilizer spreaders:
to distribute fertilizers or other nutrient materials on the field.
Hay and forage harvests:
mowers, windrowers, and hay presses, that are crucial in the production of livestock feed.
Shredders:
to cut and shred plants, often used to prepare the ground, for forage production.
Irrigators:
to provide water to the fields, in areas where natural rainfall is not sufficient.
Soil working machines:
rotary harrows, hoes, and subsoilers, used to prepare the soil for sowing.
Agricultural Bushings
n the agricultural sector, the most common name is bushing, less frequent is sliding bearings. Other ways to name them are: tractor bushings, spacer bushing, spacer. It is important to clarify this aspect as the names of this component can vary: a manufacturer may use one name, while a specialized dealer may use another one, and such differences can also depend on the geographical area, dialects, and local jargon.
Leading Brands and Key Agricultural Markets
The main agricultural markets are North America, Europe, and Asia, where companies like John Deere, Case, New Holland, Kubota, Kuhn, Kverneland and others operate. Other historical brands with distinguished design are Italian: Landini, Carraro and Maschio Gaspardo.
Sibo Bushings in Agriculture
Sibo offers a wide range of bushings specifically designed for the agricultural equipment. From standard bushings for tractors and plows to adaptable and customizable solutions like the Evo bushings, the company is committed to providing high-quality components to meet the most demanding needs. Jolly bushings are a quick and efficient solution for those who need to keep their machine working non-stop. In fact, if you find yourself having to replace a worn bushing in a worn housing, there’s no need to carry the machine to the workshop for complex welding work, you can just turn our Jolly bushing, bringing it to the size of the housing. Here you can watch our avatar Mrs Bushing, explaining in a video how to use the Jolly bushing and what advantages it brings. Here you find the technical sheet too.
