The engine is the heart of your equipment. So, when it is placed
under great strain or working hard in tough conditions, its health –
and efficient operation – needs to be safeguarded. The Shell Rimula
range of heavy-duty diesel engine oils protects your engine from
piston deposits, crankcase sludge and corrosion, helping to deliver
greater efficiency and lower fuel consumption, even during peak
harvest season.
Transmission System: Keeping equipment running smoothly with
transmission oils.
As farming machinery loads increase, so do the demands on your
transmission systems. Only high-quality transmission oils with good
oxidation resistance work to withstand degradation and prevent
breakdown. Featuring special frictional properties and high
fluidity, the Shell Spirax range is designed to keep your
transmission components protected so that they can go on working
efficiently – helping to deliver a longer, smoother ride for your
equipment.
Bearings: Weathering testing conditions with bearing greases
Extreme weather and testing terrain places a greater strain on your
wheel and gearbox bearings – putting your equipment at greater risk
of breakdown. This makes wear protection critical, particularly at
high-pressure contact points like your gearbox. The Shell Gadus
range of greases is developed to keep your bearings operating at
peak performance, improving machine utilisation, reducing
maintenance costs, and extending equipment life. Providing enhanced
wear protection and long grease life, they lower consumption without
compromising performance – especially with washout resistance to
protect components from corrosion in wet and dirty conditions.
MachineMax: Maximising equipment utilisation with MachineMax
With a growing need to meet changing industry demands, increase
productivity, and improve environmental impact, fuel and equipment
efficiency can now be critical to the survival of agricultural
operations. MachineMax is a digital equipment management
platform designed to help you deliver this. Using smart sensors
and next-generation analytics, it provides the ability to avoid
machine idling, maximise utilisation, and drive the profitability of
your agricultural machinery.
