You have the perfect opportunity to choose from Shell’s portfolio of worldclass oils and greases. These have a proven track record of helping businesses like yours to, for instance, extend the life of critical equipment, improve reliability and increase efficiency.

DIESEL ENGINES
The engines in your combine harvesters, tractors and cotton pickers need to work reliably and efficiently especially during harvesting season. Heavy-duty diesel engine oils should protect against corrosion and sludge to extend equipment life, thereby giving you lower operating costs and increased equipment availability.

TRANSMISSIONS
The transmission fluids used in agricultural equipment such as tractors and combine harvesters should protect, lubricate and help to transmit power in the most effective way. With the increasing complexity of transmissions and the heavy work they need to deliver, you need a lubricant that will protect and offer smooth gear-shifting as well as be versatile to lubricate gearboxes, bearings, wet brakes and hydraulic components simultaneously.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
In some of your equipment, especially for forestry, the hydraulic system is separated from the transmission. For them, you need a fluid that provides reliable air release, filterability and cleanliness, and extends pump life, even under the most severe operating conditions.

GREASE POINTS
Agricultural equipment requires grease that stays in place even when exposed to water and prevents contamination, even under challenging conditions. An effective lubricant will help equipment and components such as linkages, pivots, joints and bearings to function at optimum efficiency and increase their reliability and availability.
