Hop harvest leaves little room for downtime. Change gearbox oils, grease every point, and replace worn chains on pickers and conveyors weeks before the first cut.
Food-safety plans in drying and baling
Kilns and bale rooms handle a crop headed for brewing. Where your food-safety plan requires a lubricant with a specific registration, such as NSF H1, confirm it on the current product data before use. Food-grade grease is in this catalog; food-grade oils are not.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Yard tractors and stringing rigs
Tractors pull stringing platforms, sprayers, and trailers through the yard. Match each tractor maker’s transmission-hydraulic fluid and engine oil.
