Overview
Gulf Harvester is a premium grade, high viscosity index, anti-wear hydraulic oil. This product is designed for use in harsh conditions such as those experienced in cane harvesting. It is not suitable for use with pumps having silver plated parts (eg. some Lucas units). The fluid offers low variation in viscosity with temperature, which improves equipment life and reduces downtime due to superior wear and corrosion protection. With excellent air release and anti-foam properties, it prevents cavitation and oxidation. Its excellent filterability prevents filter blockages, saving replacement costs and downtime. Long fluid life is ensured due to its enhanced chemical and thermal stability.
