This is a busy time of year for the farming community. The heavy workload of summer farming means heavy machinery is on the go throughout the daylight hours. And there are a lot of daylight hours! From silage and hay making to tilling and cultivating of the land, tractors and farm machinery are in full use. At this hectic time of year, there is always something to be done. Naturally, due to the nature of the work, the big machines become covered in grime and encrusted with mud and soil. Farmers expect agricultural contractors to keep their machines in reasonable condition and it does not look too professional if you rock up to the farmyard with yesterday’s mud falling from the wheels. The added task of keeping agricultural machinery, tractors, trailers, and threshers clean and presentable is a challenge. At Kenotek we have the most amazing products to make cleaning farm and agricultural machinery a much easier task.
Kenotek Cargo 4100 snow foam, can be sprayed directly on to mucky tractors and dirty vehicles, left for three minutes and then rinsed off with a power hose revealing incredible results with a minimum of fuss and bother. Agricultural contractors are loving the stuff. It is contactless cleaning. This quick turnaround on machines going from job to job ensures that they arrive in pristine condition to the new site. As more farming contractors are expected to have the very best in high end machinery, they also want to have that machinery in tip top condition. With the Kenotek Cargo foam sprayer, a cold washer power hose is more than good enough for bringing the shine up on your machinery. It is gentle on the paintwork because you are not forced into any hard rubbing on caked on grime. It’s lifted off easily, leaving nothing but the shine. This saves you hours of labour as it is contactless, with no brushing or rubbing.
And when the hot summer roads decide to fling tar and asphalt up on the chassis of your vehicle, or when that dreaded ‘loose chips ‘sign means the paintwork is going to take a beating, use Kenotek Power Degreaser. This is a very high-quality, emulsifying, industrial cleaner and degreaser based on petroleum distillates and surfactants, and it has been specifically developed for the effective removal of (dried-in) oils and fats such as tar and asphalt. Its perfect for degreasing engines, cranes, and machines of all kinds
Agricultural tyres are a vital part of the work done on farms. Designed for regular use and for use in the most difficult of terrain and often under heavy strain. It’s a good idea to check your tyres regularly as you can lose hours of work when they let you down on site. Clean tyres make it easier to have a regular check-up and a bit of vigilance should make it easy to spot wear and tear or weak points. An irregular bump or a wee hernia can be repaired if it is noted in time. The bead area around the rim is the most fragile part of the tyre. This is also the place where mud and grime will gather. Check for damage here and clear away and small stones and soil that could lead to a loss of airtightness with the flexion and deflexion of the tyre. Cleaning your tyres and rims will make this task much easier. We have a range of wheel cleaners for keeping the alloys, tyres and aluminium shining. The Kenotek Wheel Cleaner Ultra X-tra 4200 will do the job handy for you and again, there is a minimum of effort on your part. It’s a product that really comes into its own when the time comes to store agricultural tyres. Storing the tyres clean will prolong the working life and save you time and money
Like so many industries, farming and agricultural contracting relies heavily on your physical assets. Expensive assets. Taking care of these heavy machines will prevent breakdowns and prolong the life of your vehicles. But cleaning should not be an extra drudge at the end of a long day in the fields. Kenotek products are one way to make the cleaning of your precious heavy machinery a more pleasurable task. Check it out today.
