Abstract: In one example, a continuous track transport system for an irrigation system is provided that includes a continuous track with multiple track plates arranged so that adjacent plates are directly connected to each other, and also includes a gear train connected with the continuous track and operable to transmit an input torque to the continuous track to effect movement of the continuous track. The gear train includes a drive gear having an interface that is connectible to a gearbox of an irrigation system chassis, first and second driven sprocket-gears engaged with the continuous track, each of first and second driven sprocket-gears including a respective driven gear engaged with the drive gear, and a frame to which one or more gears of the gear train are rotatably mounted. Any one or more of the drive gear, sprocket-gear, and frame may comprise, or consist of, molded, glass-filled nylon.

Abstract: In one example, a continuous track transport system for an irrigation system is provided that includes a continuous track and a gear train connected with the continuous track and operable to transmit an input torque to the continuous track so as to effect movement of the continuous track. The gear train includes a drive gear having an interface that is connectible to a motor of an irrigation system chassis, first and second drive wheels connected to the continuous track, each including an interface that is connectible to a corresponding interface of an irrigation system chassis, and first and second driven gears engaged with the drive gear, the first and second driven gears being mounted to respective drive wheels such that each driven gear rotates in unison with the associated drive wheel, and one or more gears of the gear train are plastic.
