What types of oils do I need for my agricultural machinery?
Various lubricants are essential for the smooth operation of your machines. These include engine oils for the combustion engine, gear oils for manual and axle transmissions, and hydraulic oils for power transmission and control.
What is the difference between the various AGRILUBE® Performance oils?
Every lubricant has a specific task:
- AGRILUBE® Performance Engine oil lubricates cleans, and cools the combustion engine and must withstand extreme temperatures and combustion residues.
- AGRILUBE® Performance Gear oil lubricates the gears and bearings in the transmission and must withstand high pressure loads.
- AGRILUBE® Performance Hydraulic oil primarily serves the purpose of power transmission and control, and must ensure a constant viscosity for this.
Why is the quality of lubricants, such as the AGRILUBE® Performance oils, so crucial for my agricultural machinery
High-quality lubricants are the life insurance for your machines. They protect against premature wear, extend the lifespan of components, improve efficiency, and lower maintenance costs in the long run. Inferior products can lead to damage that results in expensive repairs.
By using high-quality base oils and innovative additives, AGRILUBE® Performance not only offers the highest possible wear protection and consistently high performance but is also tailored to today's demanding agricultural technology..
What are additives and why are they so important in lubricants?
Additives are chemical substances mixed into lubricants to specifically enhance their properties. They only make up a small percentage of the oil but play a crucial role in its performance. Among other things, additives ensure that the oil remains stable under extreme conditions, cleans the engine, prevents corrosion, and reduces wear.
I am looking for the right oil for my tractor. Where can I find the correct product?
Choosing the right oil for your tractor is crucial for the machine's performance and longevity. With our AGRILUBE®s/span> Performance oils, we offer you a range of lubricants that is tailored to the requirements of many leading agricultural machinery manufacturers.
To ensure that you find the exact suitable product, we recommend the use of our Inspection lists. These lists are specifically tailored to various tractor models and accurately indicate which engine, gear, or hydraulic oil corresponds to the manufacturer's specifications. This way, you can avoid incorrect purchases and guarantee the optimal care of your agricultural machinery.
Which hydraulic oil do I need for my tractor?
The choice of the correct hydraulic oil depends on the viscosity and the manufacturer's approvals. Viscosity is specified in ISO VG classes (e.g., ISO VG 46), which describe the oil's flow characteristics at specific temperatures. With our AGRILUBE® Performance oils, we offer you a range of lubricants that covers application recommendations for a broad spectrum of brands.
A quick and easy way to find the right oil is to use ourinspection lists,which show you exactly which lubricants you need for your machine.
Which gear oil is the right one for my tractor?
The correct choice depends on the API classes (e.g., GL-4, GL-5) and the SAE viscosity (e.g., SAE 80W-90). The API class specifies the oil's performance level, while the SAE viscosity describes its flow characteristics at various temperatures. Our AGRILUBE® Performance oils are the ideal choice, as our range covers the specific approvals and application recommendations of numerous brands in the agricultural technology sector.
With our inspection lists ,you'll find the right lubricants for your machine in no time, as they give you a precise overview of all the necessary oils.
