OUT OF THE BOX, INTO THE FIELD
Remaining productive and profitable in agriculture depends on a number of factors. First and foremost, equipment needs to be suitably robust to perform in unforgiving conditions.
Bearings in particular are expected to provide reliable rotation throughout intense crop cycles. These components are also exposed to high shock and dynamic loads, as well as the environmental challenges that come with working outdoors season on season. Farmers are all too familiar with this.
Equipment manufacturers are well aware of these applicational extremities too and aim to address the urgent needs of their customers by providing the most reliable engineering components. Fortunately, SKF, with its decades of multi-industry experience and global network, is uniquely positioned to support end-users and OEMs to achieve productivity targets.
Your future
farming partner
Agriculture is a critical industry, often involving heavy-duty machines and attachments to get the job done. To that end, SKF offers a wide range of radial and axial bearings, bearing units, sealing solutions, chains, and a range of maintenance and lubrication products to fit in agricultural equipment.
The portfolio has grown extensively over the last 20 years and has become the chosen range for many major OEMs around the world, enabling new production capabilities in modern farming. When replacing bearings on your combine harvester, baler, disc harrow, or planter, for example, you want to be confident that what you are using has been designed and tested for your application. That’s exactly what SKF provides.
SKF leverages field data and insights, as well as its decades-long experience to make sure its products are rigorously tested and continuously improved. One example of this is the way we test products under accelerated contamination conditions (like mud, crop residue, and other contaminants common on the farm). This instills genuine buying confidence in OEMs as it means equipment performs as it should – and for longer. And thanks to our dedicated distributor teams around the world, we pledge to have the right component, any desired spare parts, and, if necessary, the tools to complete a safe installation available in a timely manner.
