20 PA will be noisier and not as smooth, but will have less backlash and can handle slightly more load. If anyone can back me up on these statements, I'd appreciate it because I wanna make sure I didn't post any wrong information. I know 222 switched from 20PA to 14.5PA and we haven't had any trouble with our gears and they do seem to run smoother and quieter.
Thanks for the info. We used 20 P.A this year and the gearboxes are quite noisy. Maybe that's the reason or the spacing between the gears are too tight...lol
