THE POWER TOOTH SPROCKET THIS EXAMPLE OF INTENSE WEAR AND STRETCH ON THE CHAIN IS CAUSED BY THE OLD SPROCKET DESIGN. ONE TOOTH AT A TIME TURNS THE LENGTH OF THE CHAIN. THIS UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT CAUSES THE STRETCH AND SAG SHOWN HERE. THIS WILL ALSO LEAD TO CHAIN BREAKAGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 7

DRIVER DOESN T HAVE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK THIS SEASON TWO SUGAR BEET PROCESSING PLANTS IN NEBRASKA SENT OUT A MEMO TO THE FARMERS THAT ONLY AULICK TRAILERS WOULD BE ALLOWED TO DUMP AT THE SITE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER AND SAFETY CONDITIONS. THIS WAS BECAUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT NOT FAILING ON THE AULICK TRAILERS THAT ARE USING THE POWER TOOTH SPROCKET AND DRIVES CHAIN. 13
THE POWER TOOTH SPROCKET The new D & L Sprocket cost about a third more than standard ANSI sprockets, but the price is worth it. We make them out of a harder steel than most people do, and they re heat treatable. Depending on use, these new sprockets will last over five years, which is the normal lifespan of ANSI sprockets on smaller trailers. This new design, which has been added to D&L sprockets inventory, that s been selling for years, has been in use on farm trailers since February 2008 with no problems. 14
