The Verti-Maxx Patented Bull Gear Drive System takes simplicity to the next level with fewer moving parts than any other competitive vertical mixer. The driveline drives the simple right-angle gearbox for initial drive reduction. The massive bull and pinion gears are made of hardened steel that run in an enclosed oil bath to provide simple, trouble-free operation and is more cost effective compared to right-angle planetary gearboxes.
