John Deere – Picking Unit System – Upper Drum Drive

The picking unit is an integral part of the cotton harvester; it contains the means needed for picking the cotton. One area of the picking unit is the upper drum drive, which contains elements that may need replacement from time to time. Cotton-picking machines must operate at their highest efficiency levels, so the parts you choose must be reliable. The chart shown here has a variety of parts that make up the picking unit’s upper drum drive.

Our aftermarket parts are similar to the OEM in design and durability. The main difference is where they are manufactured. Since the parts are the same and sold for less, the savings for the farmer are very beneficial in making a profit. Farmers can be at ease when the harvest or repair season comes around because they know they can get the parts in stock for a cheaper price without waiting for backorders.

Proper maintenance should always be priority number one. Whether the farmer works on the drum gear drive assembly or has their own mechanic, they know everything will work in their favor with the trusted parts, the efficiency of labor in repairs, and the expected good harvest.
