Maintenance-free bearing with a 1 3/4″ round center hole. Fits Great Plains (all models) and VT Kuhn Krause 8000-series machines. Sealed at the factory, no grease schedule. Our standard-tier bearing at this fitment — for more lip seals, see our TillXtreme Bearing at the same size.

This bearing carries the gang shaft across all Great Plains models and VT Kuhn Krause 8000-series machines, with a 1 3/4″ round center hole. It’s sealed at the factory — no grease schedule, which matters more than it sounds like it should, since a bearing sitting outside through the off-season usually fails from moisture and dirt getting past a weak seal, not from actual use.

This is our standard maintenance-free line at this size and fitment, confirmed as the standard-tier match to our TillXtreme Bearing — same dimensions and fitment, more lip seals on the TillXtreme side for a bearing that holds up longer against moisture and dirt.

Field Notes

Most bearing failures don’t come from impact — they come from side load. A gang that wasn’t assembled square puts constant lateral pressure on the bearing regardless of seal count. Get the gang square before you torque it down.

In stock and ships fast from our Wisconsin warehouse — less time waiting on parts, more time in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines does this bearing fit?

Great Plains, all models, and VT Kuhn Krause 8000-series machines, with a 1 3/4″ round center hole.

What’s the difference between this and your TillXtreme bearing at the same size?

Lip seals. This standard bearing is sealed at the factory but runs fewer lip seals than the TillXtreme line. For a bearing that holds up longer against moisture and dirt, see our TillXtreme Bearing.

What actually causes most bearing failures?

Side load, not impact. A gang that wasn’t assembled square puts constant lateral pressure on the bearing no matter how well it’s sealed. Get the gang square before you torque it down.

How do I catch a bearing that’s about to fail before it seizes?

Rotate the gang by hand and check for play or tightness. Listen for grinding or squeaking. You can also feel for abnormal heat, similar to checking a trailer wheel bearing.
