Agricultural and forestry machinery are exposed to some of the harshest operating conditions. More than ever, operators demand maximum reliability, higher profitability, and compliance with increasingly strict environmental standards.
When higher performance is required with the same equipment, unprecedented stress on gears, rolling and sliding bearings, chains and hydraulic systems and the lubricants that keep the machines running is inevitable.
For operators, the decisive benchmark is no longer the upfront cost but the total cost of keeping a machine running efficiently throughout its lifetime. Every hour of downtime, unplanned repairs, reduced fuel efficiency, and crop contamination – each one cuts into the machine’s value and profitability.
To meet today’s expectations, lubricants for agriculture must:
Future-ready lubricants for agriculture are a strategic lever – they can either put reliability at risk or set OEM machinery apart from the competition.
We at Klüber Lubrication combine decades of OEM experience with certified product quality, R&D excellence, and sustainable lubricant solutions. Our portfolio goes beyond standard products: we deliver tailored solutions that directly reduce lifecycle costs, minimize risks, and strengthen your customer satisfaction.
Our long cooperation with OEMs has resulted in reliable partnerships and a consistently positive customer experience.
Extended uptime
Lubricant failures lead to downtime, warranty claims, and lost trust. High-performance, certified lubricants reduce these risks by ensuring reliability in extreme conditions. For OEMs, this means more uptime and lower long-term warranty and service expenses.
Optimized lifecycle costs
Outstanding lubricants for agriculture and forest machinery can reduce Lifecycle Costs (LLC) or Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by extending gear, bearing, and hydraulic life, lowering fuel consumption, and reducing lubricant use through longer intervals. This results in lower cost per operating hour and higher profitability for machinery OEMs and their customers.
Future-readiness and sustainability compliance
The financial impact of non-compliance is non-negotiable and should be integrated into risk and cost planning from the outset. Choosing biodegradable, H1 food-grade, MOSH/MOAH-free lubricants ensures compliance and access to regulated markets.
Customer satisfaction and loyalty
Every unplanned machine downtime adds to lifecycle costs. Reliable specialty lubricants, backed by fast delivery and expert support, minimize downtime and service disruption. For OEMs, this translates into lower cost-of-service, higher resale values, and stronger customer loyalty.
Innovative standard setting
Enhanced output at the same machine dimensions raises component stress and costs. Tailored, future-proof lubricants from R&D experts allow OEMs to push machine efficiency without increasing failures, cutting lifecycle costs tied to premature wear and service interventions.
