I ( Rob O'Neill) am a farmer in central Nebraska. I farm alongside my father and two brothers. We grow and produce corn and soybeans. I have a passion for farming and the use of technology that makes it more efficient. I hope these videos help farmers connect consumers in what we do on a modern farm. Thanks for watching it.
Good luck fixing the pivot gearbox Rob
Great video Rob
Well done Rob.
And valley uses a different gear ratio!!!
Great video. Really interesting to watch the replacement process
Good job mate, videos in my opinion are getting better
Thank you
Rob - The Irrigation Guru! - 👍
Great job. Be safe, keep up the good work.
Through pure coincidence, half an hour ago I was changing the gearbox of the pivot , and when I finished and returned to my residence, I opened TH-cam and found this video in front of me.
👍
When I was still doing this our irrigators he’d hydraulic jacks on every tower we never had to take a jack to the field.
Great educational video. Between you and Laura Farms, ( I’m sure you’ve seen her) I’ve learned a lot more about irrigations. But hate to break it to you, she’s a lot better looking. 😂 but your videos explain the situation better. Good job 👍!!!
😂 thanks
I hate loading these into the truck
Those cx couplers are nice for emergency use, the original are still superior by a long shot in my opinion.
Hey mr O’Neil looks green at your house we’re withering away here in Tenn I need one of them rain makers
Sorry to hear. Hope you catch a rain.
It looks like that Polaris does ya a good job Rob? Replant looks pretty good. Hopefully it'll produce for you? Take care.
Are there a lot of failures for these drives?
Not typically. They usually last quite awhile.
Typically a usual farm day
I learned something today! Thanks Rob
Disclaimer: no corn stalks were injured in the making of this video.
(Did you send your Dad the bill?)
I put it on his tab

So how long do the boxes normally last ? Do you do like a yearly check over ? Your 4 wheeler seems like a very valuable tool for you.
They’ll last 20-40 years, just depends. Yeah typically will check them yearly for oil
Too easy hoss, too easy😎
Great video. Those gearboxes look very heavy are they very expensive and how many would you go through in a year
It all depends on our luck.
So roughly how many of these boxes do you have ? 100 plus ?
Oh jeez good question. Roughly 16 on every pivot so it adds up quick.
Whats warranty on umc gearboxes?
I don’t want to mislead you in case anything has changed, so I’d contact your local distributor or head to there website here: www.umcproducts.com/en/oneillfamilyfarms/
For UMC gearboxes on new machines, warranty varies depending on the pivot brand that you are buying and the UMC gearbox that they are using. The range is generally from 8 years / 8,000 hours to 10 years / 16,000 hours.
For single replacement parts, the warranty varies depending on the gearbox being purchased. The range is generally from 4 years / 4,000 hours to 5 years / 5,000 hours.
If you want specifics, please send an email to sales@umcproducts.com with information on which gearbox you’re interested in, and we’ll help you out.
At the farm I used to work ,you will have to carry the gearbox by hand to from the road, the crops manager would kill you of you run over corn or soya like that
Yeah. We used to, then I realized a bad back or injury wasn’t worth the $ in corn that I took out. But I get it. Gotta please the boss. 👍
Do you charge dad double?
Triple 😂
Don’t forget your tools, hammer and duct tape!
Two hours ago I crashed in the gear box 😂
