Gear Oils
A good gear oil will protect and
prolong the life of your gearbox,
keeping it operating at its peak
whatever the extreme conditions.
Brake Fluids
Prevent fluid oxidations, rust and the
swelling of the piston seals used in
conventional brake systems. Designed
for use at high temperatures under
the most severe conditions, so helping
the force of the braking process.
Hydraulics
It is imperative to ensure tractors and other
equipment have the correct hydraulic
oil at a suitable level. Failure to do so
puts pressure on pumps and can lead to
costly contamination related damage.
Greases
Vital to extend the life of components,
reduce corrosion and enhance equipment
reliability and performance. Lithium
based greases, graphited greases, and
anti-seize greases are used in Agriculture.
Coolants/Antifreeze
Keeping engines cool and preventing
them from frost damage and corrosion in
both older and new vehicles is vital. Using
a good quality coolant will provide all
year-round engine temperature stability.
