in Potato Digger duty<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:0 20px 18px;color:#444;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\">A service factor of 1.0 means the gearbox is rated only for steady, non-shock loading at constant load. Potato Digger applications routinely produce peak loads well above continuous duty due to the conditions described. Using a 1.0 service factor unit results in tooth pitting, bearing fatigue and premature failure within months rather than years.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e6ece8;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:10px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;font-weight:700;color:#1B4332;cursor:pointer;font-size:15.5px\">Choosing aluminium when ductile iron is required<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:0 20px 18px;color:#444;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\">Aluminium housings save weight and cost but cannot absorb impact loading the way ductile iron can.
