Ready for whatever the harvest brings
In farms and fields, tractors are being fired up, seed drills calibrated and harvest equipment brought out of storage ready for the demanding agricultural season ahead. Before the first bale is wrapped or the first trailer is loaded, machinery maintenance becomes a priority because when harvest arrives – there’s no time to wait around.
Find the four essential WD-40 Specialist® products every farmer and operator should have ready to prepare machinery and keep equipment going reliably through the busiest months in the field.
For the machinery harvest depends on
Before the pressure of harvest arrives, proper preparation will prevent breakdowns, especially when timing, weather and long working days leave little room for delays. Here are the four essential WD-40 Specialist tools to keep in your arsenal before the season gets underway.
WD-40 Specialist® White Lithium Grease. Heavy-duty lubrication.
When equipment is constantly exposed to dust, moisture and heavy use, lubrication becomes essential. White Lithium Grease is designed for metal-on-metal applications and sets dry into a thick coating to provide long-lasting protection, so you’re prepared for however long the harvest takes.
It’s commonly used on:
• adjustment mechanisms
• exposed joints
• pedals
• planters
• seed drills
• sliding rails
• tractor hinges
WD-40 Specialist® Cutting Oil. For blades working flat out.
When carrying out repairs, fabrication work or maintaining cutting equipment, controlling heat and friction is a must. Cutting Oil is designed to reduce heat build-up, minimise friction and protect tools and metal components from unnecessary wear during cutting and drilling applications.
It’s commonly used on:
• blades
• cattle clippers
• cutting equipment
• drilling applications
• hoof trimmers
• metal parts during cutting
• shearing tools
WD-40 Specialist® Degreaser. Strip grease. Save time.
Harvest preparation always requires a deep clean because of oil, grease and grime, which can hide wear and make maintenance harder. Degreaser is designed to break down build-up fast so you can clean equipment before inspection or repairs.
It’s commonly used on:
• engines
• gearboxes
• hydraulic systems
• implements
WD-40 Specialist Penetrant®. For machinery that’s sat too long.
Months in storage and exposure to the elements can leave machinery with rusted or seized components that slow down essential maintenance. Penetrant is designed to loosen seized, rusted and stuck parts quickly so you can move on to your next task.
It’s commonly used on:
• bolts
• hinges
• joints
• nuts
Trusted in the field
By harvest season, machinery is working around the clock to keep up with demand. Long days in the field, constant movement and exposure to dust, dirt and changing weather conditions all put pressure on your equipment. During busy harvest periods, quick maintenance and on-the-go repairs prevent costly downtime.
From lubricating assemblies on balers and harvesters to freeing seized trailer hinges and cleaning down implements, having the right products close at hand helps you deal with problems quickly.
Fast fixes on busy days
When the harvest is here, even small mechanical issues can bring work to a halt – having four WD-40 Specialist tools ready will make repairs quick and have machinery working at full efficiency.
WD-40 Specialist® White Lithium Grease. Keeps friction from slowing harvest down.
When harvest equipment has been running flat out and the weather is closing in, the last thing you need are dry hinges, stiff chains or worn assemblies slowing everything done. White Lithium Grease will stay where it’s needed on hard-working machinery, giving long-lasting lubrication and protection that let’s harvesters, balers and moving parts continue through long days and late finishes.
It’s commonly used on:
• balers
• chains
• gears
• harvesters
• moving assemblies
WD-40 Specialist® Cutting Oil. Reduce heat and friction at peak times.
When something breaks in the middle of harvest, repairs need doing there and then, not after tools have overheated or blades have worn out halfway through. Cutting Oil reduces heat and friction before cutting, drilling and repair work so urgent maintenance moves quickly when every hour in the field counts.
It’s commonly used on:
• blades
• cattle clippers
• drills
• hoof trimmers
• power saws
• shearing tools
• workshop equipment
WD-40 Specialist® Degreaser. For the mess the harvest left behind.
By mid-harvest, machinery is coated in a mix of grease, oil, dust and crop debris that can hide wear, slow repairs and make inspections harder than they should be. Degreaser breaks down heavy build-up, cleaning down implements and equipment properly so on-the-go fixes are simple.
It’s commonly used on:
• balers
• equipment before inspection or storage
• implements covered in oil and dirt
• ploughs
• seeders
• tools and parts before repair
WD-40 Specialist® Penetrant. Break through rust during peak season.
Busy harvest schedules leave little time for seized hinges, stiff joints or stuck attachments. Penetrant spray works quickly on stuck parts to free components in no time, getting equipment back up and running without wasting valuable time in the field.
It’s commonly used on:
• attachments
• gates
• joints
• seized hinges
• trailers
