Tractor Lubrication
Farms are found everywhere around the world with the exceptions of the north and south poles and uninhabitable areas. Humanity has modified the earth to raise food where nothing edible grew before. There are usually many pieces of equipment on a farm and one of the key implements is the tractor. The tractor has evolved from a simple machine to replace animals into a complex multifunctional and versatile implement complete with climate control, WIFI, and GPS systems. Currently self-driving units are being tested on large farms, reducing the need for driving long monotonous hours. Optimum tractor lubrication obviously is a must!
These machines are exposed to all types of weather, dust, chemicals, environments, and loads thus requiring high performance lubricants to maintain optimum functionality.
