In agriculture, a year’s work is compressed into a few weeks. If a combine harvester breaks down on the day it’s dry, it doesn’t cost maintenance hours \u2014 it costs harvest. SKF and SKF Lincoln lubrication systems deliver the right grease at the right time to every lubrication point \u2014 including the points that never get reached in the field. Euroquip designs, installs and maintains them throughout the Benelux.<\/p>\n

More than half of your bearing damage is therefore a lubrication problem, not a bearing problem.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> up to 33%<\/span><\/p>\n less lubricant consumption<\/p>\n By switching from manual to automatic lubrication. Less grease, precisely dosed, at the right moment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> 15\u201320 min<\/span><\/p>\n per machine per maintenance cycle<\/p>\n That’s how long correct manual lubrication takes. Automation gives that time back to your mechanic \u2014 and to your field planning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> 40\u201360%<\/span><\/p>\n of your maintenance costs stem from poor lubrication<\/p>\n While lubricants themselves account for only 2 to 3% of your operating costs. The ratio between effort and impact is rarely this lopsided.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> \t\t\t<\/span>Why farms and agricultural contractors in the Benelux work with Euroquip<\/strong> <\/p>\n \t<\/span><\/h1><\/span> \n<\/div><\/div><\/div> \t\t\t<\/span>Frequently asked questions<\/strong> <\/p>\n \t<\/span><\/h1><\/span> With a 58% share of the cultivation processes \u2014 from ploughing to baling \u2014 the tractor remains the workhorse of the farm. And that is exactly where the problem lies: lubrication is considered maintenance, so it happens when the machine is standing still. That is not the moment the bearing needs fresh grease. Automatic lubrication greases while the tractor is out in the field, and saves around <\/span>200,000 tonnes<\/span> of grease worldwide every year \u2014 equivalent to roughly <\/span>300,000 tonnes<\/span> of CO\u2082.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n Sources: SKF Lincoln publications on lubrication solutions for agricultural machinery. \n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> \t\t\tFour levels of lubrication: \t<\/b><\/h2><\/span> Not every machine needs the same level of lubrication. A tedder that runs twenty days a year needs something different from a tractor with two thousand operating hours. SKF Lincoln builds the four levels modularly, so you can choose per machine and expand later. Together with you, Euroquip determines which level pays off fastest on which machine.<\/p>\n \n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Level 1 \u00b7 Basic<\/span><\/p>\n The right tools for points you deliberately keep manual<\/em><\/p>\n Strengths:<\/strong> low investment, direct control, suitable for machines with few operating hours, long intervals and easily accessible points.<\/p>\n Limitations:<\/strong> the dosing depends on who does the round and how much time they have; at the peak of the season, that’s the first thing to go. Moreover, the critical points are often at the bottom, at the back or under a guard \u2014 exactly where a round is silently skipped.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Level 2 \u00b7 Consolidation<\/span><\/p>\n Bringing multiple lubrication points together into one central nipple<\/em><\/p>\n What it delivers:<\/strong> instead of searching for twelve separate points in the field, your mechanic greases one central nipple. The distribution is mechanical and positive: if one outlet blocks, the entire block stops \u2014 so a fault becomes visible instead of going unnoticed.<\/p>\n Ideal for:<\/strong> trailed implements that stand idle most of the year and points that are only accessible when the linkage is raised.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Level 3 \u00b7 Continuous \u00b7 Most popular on tractors and harvesters<\/span><\/p>\n The right lubricant in the right quantity, while the machine is working<\/em><\/p>\n Why this matters so much in agriculture:<\/strong><\/p>\n Level 4 \u00b7 Data<\/span><\/p>\n See what your lubrication system is doing, without driving out to the field<\/em><\/p>\n What you can do with it:<\/strong><\/p>\n Why this is relevant in agriculture:<\/strong> Agricultural contractors and large arable farms often have machines working at several (distant) locations at the same time. The log proves that lubrication was carried out perfectly: that is worth its weight in gold in a warranty dispute or when it comes to the trade-in value of the combine harvester.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"Smeersysteem](\"https:\/\/www.euroquip.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lemken-ploeg-smering-landbouw-smeersysteem-2.jpg\" "\\"lemken")
