The invisible shield: Industrial greases, the engine of agriculture and forestry

Agricultural and forestry machinery operates in some of the most challenging and unforgiving environments in the world. From the abrasive dust of a freshly plowed field to the wet and mud of a dense forest, equipment such as tractors, combines, and skidders are under constant stress. In these environments, lubrication is not a luxury; it’s an operational necessity.

Industrial grease acts as an “invisible shield” that protects vital machinery components, ensuring that the equipment remains productive during long and critical planting or harvesting seasons.

Unique Challenges of Farming and Forestry

Agricultural and forestry environments present specific challenges that require specialized lubricants:

• Extreme Contamination: Equipment is constantly exposed to particles of soil, straw, wood, and moisture. A low-quality grease would allow these contaminants to penetrate, causing accelerated wear in bearings and seals.
• Heavy Loads and Shock: Machinery lifts, hauls, and processes heavy materials. This operation imposes intense shock loads on pivot points and gears, requiring greases with exceptional extreme pressure (EP) capability.
• Water Washdown and Humidity: Operations in the rain, on wet ground, or washing equipment can quickly displace ordinary grease, leaving parts vulnerable to rust and corrosion.

Lone Star: Formulations Designed for Tough Work

At Lone Star Grease and Lubricants, we understand that the reliability of your machinery is directly proportional to its performance and profitability. That’s why our industrial greases are specifically formulated to withstand and overcome the harshest conditions in the fields and forests.

Lone Star Key Advantage	Direct Operational Benefit
Superior resistance to water washing	Prevents corrosion and grease displacement in humid environments, maintaining protection regardless of the climate.
Extreme Pressure Protection (EP)	Our greases withstand the heaviest loads and constant impact of forestry and agricultural operations, extending component life.
Mechanical Stability	The grease maintains its consistency (does not soften or harden prematurely) under heat and vibration, reducing the need for re-greasing and downtime.
Heavy Metal Free	As part of our commitment to sustainability and responsibility, many of our products minimize harmful additives, contributing to a cleaner future for the land we farm.
