Are you an owner of agricultural machinery? In this helpful guide; we provide an expert insight into the application and benefits of agricultural lubricant, offering key guidance on where agricultural lubricant should be applied and how it may benefit your agricultural industry.


What Is Agricultural Lubricant?

Used to aid the efficiency of your agricultural equipment, agricultural lubricant is a vital and entirely necessary measure for the protection of equipment such as trucks, tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers, loaders and more.

 

A breakdown in agricultural machinery on site can have a lasting impact on your productivity and profits, making lubricant an essential method of preserving your profitability and progress. Below, we provide a complete guide to agricultural lubricants, highlighting their key applications and benefits.


Engine Oil

Absolutely essential in the continued operation of your agricultural machinery, high-performing engine oil will play a vital role in the prevention of damage and failure occurring in your engine. A highly important agricultural lubricant, engine oil is designed to provide deposit protection, prevention against friction, corrosion and general wear and tear. Capable of withstanding the elements and the toughest of conditions, engine oil is a high priority agricultural lubricant for your machinery.


Gear/Transmission Oil

Composed primarily of minerals, semi or fully-synthetic base oils and additives, gear oil, otherwise known as transmission oil, is highly important in the function of any motor vehicle, extending the lifespan of your transmission. Not only this, but transmission oil will prolong the life of your transfer cases, differentials and help to further ensure the smooth functioning and operation of your entire gearbox.


Greases

Used to provide a protective barrier against the contamination of both solid and fluid contaminants, an effective, high-performance grease will protect your machinery from the impacts of rust and corrosion. Helping to prolong the lifespan of your agricultural machinery, grease is a less talked about, but highly important agricultural lubricant.


Hydraulics

Performing the duties of both a lubricant and a power transfer device, hydraulics are a unique piece of agricultural machinery capable of providing high-performance properties similar to that of most other lubricants. Hydraulics offer excellent anti-wear performance, filterability, deductibility, as well as rust and corrosion inhibition, foaming resistance and thermal oxidation air release.
