When harvest begins, agricultural equipment rarely gets a break. Combines, tractors and support vehicles operate for long hours under heavy loads while facing heat, dust and changing field conditions. This demanding environment can accelerate oil oxidation, contribute to wear, and place additional stress on engines, transmissions, hydraulic systems and other critical components.
For agriculture customers, an equipment issue during harvest can mean more than an unexpected repair. It can cost valuable time during one of the most important, time-sensitive, periods of the year. You can help customers prepare by recommending lubricants matched to their equipment operating conditions and manufacturer requirements.
Find the Right Protection for the Demands of Harvest
Phillips 66® Lubricants and Kendall® Motor Oil offer a range of products to help protect agricultural equipment throughout the harvest season, including:
- Phillips 66 Guardol ECT® & Kendall Super-D® XA Heavy Duty Engine Oil provide enhanced oxidation resistance, wear protection and soot control for diesel engines operating in severe-duty conditions. Their Liquid Titanium protection additive helps defend critical engine components during extended operating hours.
- Phillips 66 PowerTran® & Kendall Hyken 052 Fluid are formulated for farm tractors and other off-highway equipment that use common fluid for transmissions, final drives, wet brakes and hydraulic systems. They provide wear protection for clutches, gears and hydraulic pumps while helping protect against rust and corrosion.
- Phillips 66 Multiplex® 220 & Kendall L-427 Super Blu® Grease help protect heavily loaded bearings and other grease-lubricated components found throughout agricultural equipment. These multipurpose, extreme-pressure lithium complex greases provide strong load-carrying and wear protection while helping resist rust, corrosion and water washout in demanding operating conditions.
Now is the time to connect with agriculture customers about their lubrication needs. Ask about their equipment mix, anticipated operating hours, current maintenance practices and any reoccurring performance concerns. Reviewing product specifications and maintenance intervals before harvest can help identify potential gaps and ensure customers have the right products on hand before demand peaks.
By helping customers prepare now, you can deliver more than lubricants, you can provide greater confidence that their equipment is ready for the long days ahead.
