Benefits of the TB-22C Rotary Tiller Gearbox

The TB-22C rotary tiller gearbox brings real advantages to farmers and agricultural operators, especially in Argentina’s diverse farming regions. Here’s why it’s a standout choice:

Boosted Efficiency: The TB-22C transfers power smoothly from the tractor’s PTO to the tiller blades, ensuring steady torque at 540 RPM. This cuts down tillage time, whether you’re preparing soil for soybeans in Santa Fe or wheat in La Pampa. Its dual gear ratios (1:1.93 increasing, 1.93:1 reducing) let you tweak performance for different soil types.

Lasting Durability: Built from cast iron GG25 and alloy steel, the gearbox withstands the wear of rocky or clay-heavy soils. TEBSA’s forging and carburization processes—honed since 1997—add toughness, meaning fewer breakdowns and a longer lifespan, even in Argentina’s humid subtropical climates.

Cost Savings: At 50% less than original Comer gearboxes, the TB-22C offers premium performance without the high price tag. Its robust design reduces repair costs, making it a smart buy for farmers looking to stretch their budgets without sacrificing quality.

Flexible Use: With 98 HP (increasing) and 82 HP (reducing) capacities, it suits multi-row tillers, hole borers, and other agricultural tools. Whether tilling small plots in Mendoza or large fields in Buenos Aires, it adapts to your needs.

Safer Farming: The TB-22C’s precise engineering, backed by TEBSA’s ISO9001-2015 certification, ensures stable operation, reducing risks during heavy-duty tasks. Its 31.5 kg weight balances strength and ease of installation.

Easy Maintenance: Designed for practicality, it requires an oil change after 50 hours initially, then every 500 hours. TEBSA’s support team responds within 24 hours, helping you keep it running smoothly.

Applications of the TB-22C in Argentine Agriculture

The TB-22C rotary tiller gearbox powers a range of farming tasks across Argentina, where agriculture drives the economy. Its versatility makes it a go-to for soil preparation and land management.

Crop Preparation: In Argentina’s Pampas, where soybeans, corn, and wheat dominate, the TB-22C breaks up compacted soil for planting. Its 199.9 daNm output torque (reducing) delivers the force needed for deep tillage, ensuring seeds take root in well-aerated soil.

Multi-Row Tilling: For large-scale farms in Córdoba or Santa Fe, the gearbox supports multi-row rotary tillers, covering wide areas efficiently. Its 72.1 kW input power handles heavy loads, speeding up prep for high-yield crops.

Hole Boring: Beyond tilling, the TB-22C works with hole borers for fencing or tree planting in Mendoza’s vineyards or fruit orchards. Its dual shaft options (Y and Z, 1 3/8" splined) ensure compatibility with various equipment.

Small and Large Farms: Whether you’re a smallholder in Entre Ríos or managing thousands of hectares in La Pampa, the TB-22C scales to your operation. Its compact design fits smaller tractors, while its strength supports industrial cultivators.

Maintenance Tips for the TB-22C Gearbox

Keeping the TB-22C in top shape ensures years of dependable service. Here’s how to maintain it, tailored for Argentina’s demanding farm conditions:

Regular Checks: Inspect the gearbox every few weeks for leaks, cracks, or wear, especially after tilling rocky soils in Buenos Aires. Catching issues early prevents costly repairs.

Oil Management: The TB-22C holds 3.3 liters of GL-5 80W-90 oil (not included). Change it after the first 50 hours, then every 500 hours or annually, depending on use. Check for dirt or metal particles in the oil to spot internal wear.

Use Quality Lubricants: Stick to TEBSA-approved oils to maintain smooth gear operation. Poor-quality oil can lead to overheating, especially in Argentina’s hot summer months.

Shaft Care: Clean and grease the Y and Z shafts (1 3/8" splined) regularly to ensure efficient power transfer. This is key for heavy-duty tillers working through clay soils.

Alignment: Ensure the gearbox and tiller are properly aligned with the tractor’s PTO. Misalignment causes vibration, which can damage gears over time—common in uneven fields like those in La Pampa.

Storage: When not in use, store the gearbox in a dry shed to protect it from Argentina’s humid or rainy seasons, preventing rust on the cast iron housing.
