The Strong Silent Type In a recent independent study, we tested our newest high-performance wheel gearbox, the Reinke-UMC® 740-U-AD™ 10/16, against our competition’s 8000 model gearbox, and our own field proven standard wheel gearbox. The results were nothing short of game changing as the Reinke-UMC® 740-U-AD™ 10/16, outperformed both, making it the new standard in wheel gearbox load capacity and longevity for electric center pivots and laterals. Due to these impressive results, Reinke provides a 10 year or 16,000 hour warranty to match its stature. |

Average Gearbox Load Capacity
The first test performed was the average gearbox load capacity test, which measures the amount of load applied to the gearbox before it begins to “growl” or make noise, signaling the point at which extreme gear wear begins.
Thanks to our new high torque gears, the Reinke-UMC® 740-U-AD™ 10/16 gearbox consistently — and quietly — overpowered the closest competitor by more than 22 percent, averaging more than 26,000-inch pounds of load capacity before the growl point where extreme gear wear begins.

Over powering the competitor by more than 22 percent!
¹The average gearbox load capacity measures the amount of load applied to the gearbox up to the point where extreme wear begins.
Average Accelerated Gearbox Life
The next test performed was the average accelerated gearbox life test. This test approximates the life of the gears under a constant overload condition. Average life is calculated from gear wear resulting from the test. The Reinke-UMC® 740-U-AD™ 10/16 gearbox significantly outperformed its predecessor and experienced roughly half the amount of gear wear compared to its 8000 model competitor under the same test conditions.
Remaining cool under pressure, the Reinke-UMC® 740-U-AD™ 10/16 gearbox also operated 15 degrees cooler on average during the average accelerated gearbox life test, indicating that more of its energy is being channeled into moving your irrigation system — rather than producing excess heat.
Best wheel gearbox warranty of 10 years or 16,000 hours.

The superior performance of the Reinke-UMC® 740-U-AD™ 10/16 gearbox in terms of load capacity and life is why only Reinke can offer the best wheel gearbox warranty in the industry of 10 years or 16,000 hours.
