Lutco

Tough environments require even tougher equipment.

For over 70 years, Lutco has provided the agricultural industry with custom bearing assemblies and stamped components designed to endure the harshest field conditions. From round balers and combines to complex tillage equipment, our innovative solutions are built for maximum uptime. By controlling the fit between the bearing and the flangette, we help accommodate shaft flexure and misalignment, dramatically extending bearing life. We also offer heat-treated flangettes for maximum wear resistance, ensuring your machinery stays in the field and out of the shop.
