Re: High torque that can be purchased.
We used a RS-775 and a 256:1 gear box, with a worm gear giving us another 20:1 reduction. We experienced problems with the worm and worm gear chipping but not with the planetary. I believe that the worm gear was useful in protecting the transmission from the shocks of bumps on the field. We lacked a way to reposition the arm on the field however.
