VESCONITE IN AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is a tough environment for bearings – ask any farmer. Traditional bronze and steel bearings have a particularly hard time of it, given the host environment of grit, mud and water. More often than not, the result is rapid wear to both bearing and shaft, and eventual failure and costly downtime. Not so with Vesconite. A unique blend of self-lubrication, low abrasion and high load-bearing strength makes Vesconite the ideal choice for a variety of agricultural applications.

MATERIAL COMPARISON
Bronze and steel gauge arm and linkage bushings in planters have high wear rates, due to the abrasive working environment. This results in inaccurate seed placement.
Traditional tractor king pin, axle and final drive bushings can be affected by water and dirt but this is not the case with Vesconite.
Vesconite offers a huge time saving compared to bronze and steel bearings in planters and sprayers, where maintenance involves lubricating hundreds of grease points.
