Bearing help

[Macsky]

I’m looking to replace the bearings on a set of parmiter disc harrows, can anyone point me in the right direction for the correct bearing inserts? Everything I seem to be finding online has a collar with grub screws, which is not what I’m after.

Looks like you are sorted

They have two options, one is original RHP brand, other doesn’t say what brand it is, but is less than half the price!

is there going to be that much difference in quality?

 

[livestock 1]

Yes there are cheap bearings and dear ones. The cheap ones will likely not last as well. It depends on how much effort and inconvenience it is when they go as to which ones to go for?

Put RHPs in it.

Needs to be spherical OD to fit into a pillow block housing, not sure that is.

Stick with RHP if you want it to last, it's not always the initial cost its the time replacing it as well.

And downtime when you're wanting to get on

As much as I would like to put original brand bearing in, I am really struggling to justify spending more than double the money on them, and after speaking to a couple of bearing suppliers today, who you would assume would be pushing the more expensive option, were actually saying there’s just not that much difference in them, certainly not as much as the price jump would suggest, you are paying mostly for the name.
They are greasable, so regular greasing will probably have a far greater effect on longevity than brand choice.
