70388 Agri Product brochure V2.qxp 3/3/09 15:06 Page 2 ONE DECISION YOU CAN MAKE WITH CONFIDENCE It has always been a tough world for agricultural businesses and it isn t getting any easier. You have many decisions to make and each one needs to be right to keep your business competitive and maximise your profitability. At Castrol we understand this. We have been working with farmers for generations and in that time have developed an understanding not only of vehicles and equipment, but also of the sector and its people. In the last 100 years, we have seen farming transform from horse-drawn machines to state-of-the-art vehicles. Throughout this time, it has been important that the equipment does its job effectively and efficiently. Castrol identified this need right from the start of the age of mechanisation and we introduced our first specialised agricultural lubricants in 1917. This evolving range of products has become synonymous with increased protection and performance of agricultural equipment, as the industry became increasingly mechanised and modernised. More recently, we have seen a change in vehicle technology and associated lubricant needs, moving away from universal products (STOUs) for most systems towards separate engine, transmission and gear oils. This change in technology and lubricants has been driven by the need for ever more robust and heavy-duty components, to enable longer life and increased efficiency. We have tailored the Castrol Agri range to reflect this change and now also offer additional high-performance products from our wider portfolio to fulfil all your needs. Our priority is clear to deliver the products you need with the performance and specifications necessary for all equipment on the farm. 1917 Agricastrol was an instant success and within a year was used by most Fordson tractors in the UK.

70388 Agri Product brochure V2.qxp 3/3/09 15:07 Page 9 GREASES There are many parts on, in or attached to your vehicle that can wear and therefore need regular lubrication. Wherever two surfaces rub together wear can occur, so you need to keep these parts well lubricated with grease. The film of grease will prevent sticking, squeaking and groaning, and prevent components wearing out permanently, or in an extreme case failing altogether. Greases also keep surfaces protected from moisture and corrosion. We offer a wide selection of greases that can cope with everything from extreme wet and cold to hot, dry and dusty conditions even under very high loads, however this grease is best suited to the diverse needs of Agri customers. Castrol Spheerol EPL- 2 General high-performance grease Lithium based general purpose extreme pressure grease, based upon mineral oils and incorporating extreme pressure agents to protect bearing components subject to heavy and shock loadings.
