From Seed to Harvest – How FUCHS Lubricants Helps Power Every Turn of the Agricultural Engine

In the business of agriculture, uptime is everything. From the tractor starting at dawn to the combine harvester wrapping up at dusk; the demand on machinery is relentless. At the heart of these machines there are a variety of lubricants that ensure seamless operation all year round. 

The team at FUCHS understand just how hard agricultural machines work – and they strive daily to meet these demands with full-spectrum lubricant solutions that covers virtually every moving part in modern farm equipment. From engine oils and hydraulic fluids to gear oils and greases, including specialty fluids for advanced machinery technology, their goal is to keep agriculture moving forward.

In-the-Field Reliability

Designed to withstand extreme outdoor conditions — from the cold starts of spring planting to the dust-choked intensity of the harvest season — FUCHS lubricants are proven to extend equipment life and reduce maintenance downtime. This reliability ensures that farmers can focus on what truly matters: the harvest.
