Rubber Drive Coupling for Vicon Fertilizer Spreaders

Description

If your fertilizer spreader’s been shaking more than usual or you’ve heard some clunking from the drive shaft, chances are that rubber coupling needs attention. When your fertilizer spreader starts vibrating excessively or you hear clunking from the drive shaft, a worn rubber coupling is often the culprit. This 85mm replacement coupling for Vicon spreaders absorbs the shock loads and misalignment that would otherwise destroy rigid connections, keeping your spreading pattern consistent and your equipment running smoothly through long days of field application.

What You’re Getting

• 85mm diameter that’s specifically matched to Vicon’s drive requirements, ensuring proper fit without modification
• Heavy-duty rubber compound that handles high torque loads without giving up
• Absorbs vibration and compensates for shaft misalignment so your spreader runs smooth
• Direct replacement that drops right in – no modifications or adapters needed

Built for Real Farm Work

Your Vicon spreader is a precision tool for applying fertilizer evenly across your fields. Whether you’re pulling it with a David Brown 1390, a Marshall 804, or similar tractors in the 80-100 horsepower range, that rubber coupling is the critical link between your PTO and the spreader mechanism. When you’re out there spreading nitrogen in the spring or getting fertilizer down before planting, that coupling takes a beating from constant starts and stops.

Made to Last

This isn’t just a chunk of rubber – it’s precisely engineered to handle the unique demands of spreader operation. The rubber compound stays flexible in cold weather when you’re spreading early-season nitrogen, yet resists the heat generated by continuous operation. Internal reinforcement handles the high torque loads when spreading heavy materials or working in hilly conditions.

Installation Notes

Replacing a rubber coupling is straightforward but requires attention to alignment. Remove the old coupling by loosening the clamping bolts – penetrating oil helps if they’re corroded. Clean the shaft ends thoroughly and make sure everything lines up properly before tightening. Apply anti-seize to coupling bolts for easier future service. Consider keeping a spare coupling in your parts inventory, especially during spreading season when downtime means missed application windows.
