Potato and beet harvest runs day and night until the crop is in. Grease, chain inspection, and gearbox oil changes belong in the weeks before digging starts, with spare filters and fluids staged at the shop.
Storage runs all winter
Ventilation fans, humidifiers, and conveyors in storage run for months after harvest. Put their bearing and gearbox service on a calendar, not on memory.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Tractors and harvesters
High-horsepower tractors and self-propelled harvesters carry heavy loads in wet soil. Match each machine’s engine oil, transmission-hydraulic fluid, and hydraulic oil.
