Prepare for fall tillage with quality fuel and lubricants

As fields are cleared and equipment shifts from harvest to tillage and beyond, reliability and care of your equipment becomes more important than ever. Breakdowns or delays during this critical window can be costly and set back your entire operation. While weather remains unpredictable, your equipment’s health and reliability remain within your control. By choosing high-quality lubricant and fuel products, participating in fuel and oil sampling, and protecting your equipment with a warranty program, you can keep your machines performing through the season’s toughest demands

Protect your equipment with high-quality lubricants  

The last thing you want to think about as you are finishing up the farming season is having to perform an oil change before you get to your winter maintenance. First-class lubricants are designed to last through these critical times. They begin with better base oils, which are crucial for providing a strong foundation. Quality lubricants stand apart from the rest thanks to the technology behind their comprehensive additive packages that add and enhance the capabilities of the base oils. 

• Premium lubricants resist oxidation more effectively than low-quality "yellow bucket" blends, meaning it provides better protection, lasts longer and needs replacing less often — even with constant exposure to air and high temperatures. 
• A premium lubricant will also provide more shear stability, meaning you have less viscosity breakdown during heavy-duty cycles. 
• Premium lubricants also contain superior detergents and dispersants to keep critical moving parts cleaner and mitigate dirt and soot from causing excess wear. 

Using premium, full synthetic lubricants like Maxtron® Enviro-EDGE® and Maxtron THF+ helps extend drain intervals and reduce operability issues in agricultural equipment, such as harder cold starts in your engine or brake chatter and other disruptive stickiness that can take place in hydraulic pumps.  

Ensuring your equipment remains in good condition doesn’t stop with premium oils. 

Why choosing premium diesel fuel matters  

Choosing the right diesel fuel is more than just a routine purchasing decision; it’s an investment in keeping tractors, combines, and other essential machines running at peak performance. Fuel quality can directly impact equipment performance and reliability. 

Using high-quality diesel fuel, like Cenex® Ruby Fieldmaster®, provides farmers with the performance, protection, and reliability their operations depend on. Its innovative formula is designed to help:  

• Clean and protect ngines from harmful deposits with the advanced, aggressive detergency package
• Increase power and improve fuel efficiency through a more complete fuel burn
• Reduce downtime and maintenance costs due to water contamination with the total water management system
• Protect the life of critical components, from injectors to fuel lines through enhanced filterability and reduced injector fouling

Whether you’re operating during fall tillage or keeping up with day-to-day chores, Cenex premium diesel fuel ensures your equipment is ready to work as hard as you do. The result is smoother operation and confidence that your fuel won’t let you down—no matter the season or conditions.
