TYPES OF FORGED PARTS FOR AGRICULTURE

Forged parts prolong the life cycle of agricultural equipment, offering the most reliable means of maintaining equipment. Though 

steel-cast parts can come at a lower initial cost, they lack the strength and resistance to wear provided by forged parts. Some common

 forged components used in the agricultural industry include:

·         Sprockets

·         Spacer plates

·         Yokes

·         Gearbox components

·         Combine fingers

·         Shafts

·         Spindles

·         Flanges

·         Tie rods

·         Grain augers

·         Universal joints

A wide range of agricultural applications use these and other forged parts. The preference for forged parts throughout the agricultural 

industry relates to the advantages they provide in various applications such as:

·         Tractors. Forged steel facilitates increased durability and resistance to impacts and fatigue for rotating blades, connecting rods/shafts, crankshafts, and blunt extensions used in tractors.

·         Combines. Wear to high-speed moving parts due to friction and impacts is common in combine operation. Using forged 

steel for these parts offers increased durability for blades and other components.

·         Plows. Forged steel components resist the friction wear and impact damage common to plowing operations.

·         Machine engines. Torque and fatigue create wear and failure in machine engines, but forged steel extends the lifecycle of 

these parts and components.
