Description
When you’re rolling through the field planting corn or beans, the last thing you want is a wobbly planter wheel throwing off your seed placement. This Timken radial ball bearing keeps your planter wheels spinning smooth and straight, ensuring consistent depth and spacing row after row. It’s the same bearing that John Deere puts in their MaxEmerge planters from the factory.
What You’re Getting
- Precision radial ball bearing design that handles both radial and thrust loads from planter wheels
- Timken quality construction that’s trusted by farmers worldwide for heavy-duty applications
- Sealed design keeps dirt and moisture out while keeping grease in where it belongs
- Direct factory replacement—no modifications or special tools needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing fits John Deere MaxEmerge 2, Plus, Pro, XP, and XP Pro planting units—machines that plant millions of acres every spring. Whether you’re planting no-till into corn stubble or working clean-tilled ground, these bearings handle the side loads and impacts that come from gauge wheels and closing wheels doing their job. These planters are workhorses in corn and soybean country, and this bearing is built to match that durability.
Made to Last
Timken has been making bearings for over a century, and they know what it takes to survive in agricultural conditions. This radial ball bearing uses quality steel races and precision-ground balls that resist wear even when dealing with dirt, dust, and the constant vibration of field work. The sealed construction means you’re not constantly fighting contamination issues that can destroy cheaper bearings.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—press out the old bearing and press in the new one using proper bearing installation tools. Make sure the bearing seats fully and check that the wheel spins freely without binding. If you’re doing multiple units, it’s smart to inspect the wheel hubs for wear while you’ve got everything apart.
