Maximum performance for the agricultural sector – with lubricants from ADDINOL

Lubricants in agriculture reduce friction, wear and corrosion in agricultural machinery. Tractors, harvesters and attachments are exposed to heavy loads, dust, moisture and fluctuating temperatures. The right lubricants ensure reliable operation and extend the service life of the machinery. This helps prevent breakdowns during critical periods such as harvest time.

In agriculture, engine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils, greases and multi-purpose oils are used. In addition, special chain oils, bearing greases and universal lubricants are used for attachments. In some cases, biodegradable lubricants and food-grade lubricants must also be used.

The correct lubricant depends on the type of machine, the period of use, the load and the manufacturer’s specifications. The key factors are viscosity, temperature range, water resistance and the approvals required in accordance with DIN, ISO or the OEM specifications of the agricultural machinery manufacturers.

High-performance engine oils, heavy-duty hydraulic and transmission oils, UTTO lubricants, as well as multi-purpose and EP greases are used in tractors and harvesters. These lubricants are designed for long service life and high mechanical loads.

Using the wrong lubricant can lead to increased wear, loss of performance, sealing problems or machine breakdowns. It may also invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. For this reason, only approved lubricants should be used. ADDINOL lubricants meet numerous OEM approvals.

Lubricants with strong adhesion, water resistance and dirt-repellent properties are ideal for dusty and damp operating conditions. High-performance specialist lubricants from ADDINOL protect bearings, moving parts and chains, even during intensive field work.

Yes, there are biodegradable lubricants that have been specially developed for applications such as agriculture. They are used in sensitive areas such as green spaces, forests, water protection zones and in organic farming. ADDINOL has developed the high-performance NatureProof range for this purpose.

High-quality lubricants extend maintenance intervals, reduce wear and tear, and minimise downtime during busy periods. This can significantly reduce repair and maintenance costs in the agricultural sector. Above all, they prevent costly breakdowns during critical periods such as harvest time.
