Not all spindle greases provide the same level of performance – that is why John Deere developed the John Deere Spindle Grease. The superior formula meets lubricant 360T specifications for John Deere cotton pickers. High-grade, anti-wear additives and rust inhibitors protect the spindles and picking unit components and works in tandem with John Deere spindle cleaner to extend the service lives of all parts.

• Minimises wear for optimum performance in the field and minimal consumption
• Increases the increment between overhauls by 3 years.
• Minimises spindle vibration and optimises yield
• Reduces operating and maintenance costs and prolongs the life of the complex picker heads
• Minimises your downtime for maintenance and protects against unexpected breakdowns

Using the right formula of spindle cleaner protects your machinery and parts instead of washing away spindle grease with soap or detergents. John Deere has uniquely formulated their oil-in-water emulsion that incorporates tiny droplets of oil to both clean and protect spindles, bushings, doffers and moisture pads. The oil droplets provide protection against rust and oxidation of bushings and spindles. In both soft water and hard water, the spindles are cleaned effectively. Meets JDN354 specifications.

• Increases your harvesting performance with a higher yield of cleaner cotton
• Reduces your operating and maintenance costs by protecting your cotton picker’s mechanical parts from rust, oxidation, or corrosion
• Saves on grease costs by minimising grease wash off
• Reduces spindle wrapping and staining
• Allows longer intervals between tank refills
• Does not harden doffers and moisture pads as some soaps or surfactants do
• Keeps spindles cleaner – cleans away dirt, plant residue and contaminants from the spindles
