Moisture meets its match with Donaldson’s T.R.A.P breather technology. Donaldson T.R.A.P Breathers collect and eject moisture from your holding tank which means you wont need to change your breather as often due to water saturation unlike other desiccant filters. How it works T.R.A.P breathers from Donaldson can strip the moisture from intake air and remove it back into the atmosphere on the outflow cycle. This ultimately regenerates your breathers water holding capacity. The circuit...

Baldwin’s EnduraPanel air filters are designed to protect and last! You spend a lot of money on your equipment, and you don’t need downtime due to premature part failures. Even high-quality air filters cannot perform if damaged under harsh working conditions. A damaged air filter can let contamination pass through filter media which ultimately allows unfiltered ‘dirty air’ to reach your engine. That’s why Baldwin developed their line of EnduraPanel, an air filter built to deliver superior...

When carrying out repairs and maintenance on mobile and stationary machinery it is important to understand the risk factors they come with. Machinery accidents are caused by a range of factors which can include: Missing guards and other safety devices Unsuitable machinery for the job on hand Poor maintenance  Lack of training Unsafe methods for clearing blockages and making adjustments. Agricultural Machinery Hazards  Many operators may not be aware of how powerful agricultural machinery is...

Developed by Donaldson, PowerCore® technology offers the best system optimisation for newer vehicle models deigned to be less classic and more aerodynamic. Latest vehicle design offers, less under-hood space, higher horsepower engines with hotter engines and that is why Donaldson created PowerCore® Air Filters, to do more in less space. What is it about? Proprietary air filtration technology has been developed to improve engine protection and new fluted media is designed for improved air...

It may come as surprise that the most powerful hydraulic systems bare so much similarity to the human body.  Imagine your heart being the hydraulic pump in your system, and hydraulic fluid being the blood which is filtered by the kidneys (being your hydraulic filters).  However, unlike the human body, manmade hydraulics need careful servicing and maintenance.  How Hydraulic Systems work Hydraulic oil holding tank Here is where most of your contaminants will find its way into the oil. However...

To mark National Farmers Day we thought we’d share some fun facts on farming in the UK. 57% of all land in the UK is used for agriculture! There are over 200,000 farms in the UK! East Anglia produces enough barley make 2.5 million pints of beer each year! We produce 8 million tonnes of wheat a year and the average person buys 43 loaves of bread per year. 5.5 million tonnes of potatoes are produced each year enough to make 27.5 billion packets of crisps! 60% of food eaten in the UK is grown...

As we approach the colder months now is the time to start thinking about how you will run your engine throughout the winter. Understanding how antifreeze works will help you protect your engine from trouble this winter. What is Antifreeze made of? Antifreeze is a glycol-based fluid made up of either ethylene glycol (EGW) or propylene glycol (PGW) and several anti-corrosive compounds which prevents the corrosion & oxidisation of your coolant system. Most machines use a 50/50 mixture of...

Tier III & IV high pressure common rail (HCPR) fuel systems have been a true benefit for engines over the past 10 years by improving engine performance through more efficient combustion. HCPR fuel systems optimise fuel consumption and reduces particulate emissions. However some new equipment owners have experienced fuel related downtime and/or operability issues in colder weather conditions. Around 95% of the particulate typically found in diesel fuel was not a problem for older engines...

With so many filter manufacturers in today’s market manufacturing the same filter for a particular application and each with their own unique part number, effectively cross referencing your part numbers can be somewhat difficult to say the least. Here’s a few tips to help you correctly identify the filters you require. What part number should you start with? If possible always use the OE part number for your application to prevent an indirect cross reference occurring.  If you have a parts...
