• Can I switch over in phases?

    Yes. The SKF Lincoln modules build on each other. You can start with a SALK kit that brings 6 to 12 points together on one central nipple, later add a pump and controller, and grow into a connected system later still. Euroquip typically suggests starting with the machine that has the highest seasonal downtime cost.

  • What if a line gets blocked or the reservoir runs empty?

    With a progressive system, the whole distributor block locks up when one outlet is blocked — so the fault becomes visible. With a connected system using CLP Smart or P253 Smart, you see a blockage or low fill level immediately in the SKF eLube app, without stopping the machine.

  • Does such a system also work in frost and in winter?

    Yes, provided it’s sized correctly and uses the right lubricant. The AECP cartridge pump works from −40 to +65 °C, LGGB 2 has good low-temperature starting behaviour, and LGCC 2 is a universal grease with a very wide low-temperature range. Single-line systems also perform reliably at low temperatures.

  • How much does automatic lubrication actually save?

    Lubricant consumption drops by up to 33% because dosing is exact instead of estimated, and the manual lubrication round of 15 to 20 minutes per machine per cycle disappears. The biggest gain is usually not in the grease itself but in avoided downtime: 40 to 60% of maintenance costs stem from inadequate lubrication, while lubricants

  • Which grease do I use for fieldwork?

    Where lubricant could end up in the soil or surface water, SKF LGGB 2 is the right choice: a biodegradable grease that SKF classifies as an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant. For heavily loaded wheel hubs and axles, LGWA 2 is the logical choice, and LFFM 100 or LHMT 68 for chain drives.

  • How many lubrication points does a farm machine have?

    That varies greatly by manufacturer and configuration. SKF uses as a guideline 40 or more for a tractor, 60 or more for implements and trailers, 35 or more for a combine harvester, 80 or more for specialised harvesters, 30 or more for a baler, and 60 or more for sprayers and slurry tankers. We count

  • Can an automatic lubrication system be retrofitted onto my existing tractor or combine?

    Yes. Most of the installations Euroquip carries out are retrofits on machines already in use, regardless of brand. We map the lubrication points, determine pump capacity and pipe routing, and build in the system — preferably during winter storage.
