Schaeffler, the original equipment (OE) component and system manufacturer, has further improved its range of INA front end auxiliary drive system (FEAD) products, as it adds more belts, tensioners, idlers and complete kits to suit multiple New Holland and CASE applications.

Although the belts, tensioners and idlers can be purchased separately, the most cost-effective solution is to purchase all parts as a kit in just one box, which makes the best practice principle of replacing all elements within the system at the same time a straightforward and logical step.

The new components and kits cover various New Holland TM, TS, T6, T6000, T7, T7000, 40 and 60 series applications, as well as CASE IH MXM, MAXXUM, MXU and PUMA models.

However, the range is continuously expanding, making the choice of installing an OE solution, at a competitive price, a reality for the agricultural community.

Schaeffler says it is essential for those responsible for the upkeep of costly agricultural equipment to not only comply with the manufacturer’s service schedule, but to frequently check the belt and pulley system to try and identify any signs of wear.

This will help ensure the ongoing reliability of the machinery and reduce the likelihood of unproductive downtime caused by a failure in the system.

INA belt drive components are manufactured to exacting OE specifications, which means that engineers can fit them with confidence in the knowledge that they will maintain the same performance and reliability as the original parts, as well as providing a cost-effective and long-lasting repair solution.
