Open the catalog to page 4Gearbox Design Philosophy You know the gearbox is the heart of your center pivot. If the gearbox isn’t working, the center pivot isn’t working. The Valley philosophy is to provide you with the most durable gearbox in the irrigation industry. That’s why Valley Irrigation is the only center pivot company in the world that manufactures its gearboxes in the USA. Rather than buying the lower-cost gearboxes from overseas that our competitors use, the Valley gearbox is manufactured in Nebraska using only U.S. vendors that meet our quality standards. Benefits for you: • Each gearbox is tested before...
Open the catalog to page 5Truss Rods Valley truss rod heads are forged from a solid rod. For maximum fatigue strength (i.e. long cyclic life), we take two unique steps in manufacturing our truss rods: 1) the rod diameter is increased under the rod head 2) a larger radius is forged where the rod head meets the rod diameter. Benefits for you: • Eliminates problems associated with welded assemblies • Hot-dipped galvanized for maximum, long-term corrosion protection • Rod diameters larger than competitors for additional strength Truss Rod Sockets Valley truss rod sockets are two-piece, precision-stamped assemblies sized...

Benefits for you: • Standard pipe coupling welded onto the pipe for much stronger design • No pressure loss due to couplings • No protrusion into the pipeline restricti
