Boone, Iowa, USA – Sep 4, 2026
GQZ Bearing has wrapped up our exhibition at Farm Progress Show 2026, which ran September 1–3 at Central Iowa Expo in Boone, Iowa. This is one of North America’s biggest outdoor farm machinery expos, bringing together farmers, equipment dealers and manufacturers from all over the world. It was a fantastic chance for our team to showcase our full line of agricultural bearings and share our technical expertise with global industry players.

Over the three-day show, our team chatted and exchanged ideas with dozens of new and long-time partners across the agriculture sector. Walking around the venue, we saw all kinds of working farm machines on display — tractors, combine harvesters and other field equipment. Every single one relies on reliable bearings to run smoothly through busy planting and harvesting seasons.

One of our biggest takeaways from the show was a great technical discussion with the sales team from SKF US Lubricants Division. We talked about how to perfectly match agricultural bearings with high-performance grease. We covered bearing design and grease compatibility, all with one shared goal: help farm equipment last longer and cut down on costly maintenance and downtime out in the fields.

Anyone working in farming knows that smooth-running machinery hinges on tough, heavy-load bearings — and that’s exactly what GQZ Bearing focuses on making. Our agricultural bearing range includes hub & transmission bearings for tractors, plus header and cutter bar bearings for harvesters. Every unit is built to stand up to heavy shocks, constant dust and damp mud, the harsh conditions farmers deal with daily.

This year’s Farm Progress Show was a huge success for us. Conversations with SKF’s lubricant team and face-to-face talks with our customers help us keep improving our bearings and deliver better solutions for farm equipment makers and distributors worldwide.

We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect with us. If you couldn’t make it to the show, or you want to learn more about how our bearings can boost your machine’s lifespan and reliability, our team is here to help.
