Engineered for Australia: JSG’s Auto Lube Delivers Robust Farm Savings

“After a big harvest, it’s easy to skip the grease work,” John says. “Now, the lube kit does it while the machine’s running. At the end of the day, I just clean down and refuel.”

This upgrade isn’t just about convenience. At season’s end, John has reported no bearing, pin, or bushing replacements and expects his machine’s life to extend by a decade or more. The system is specifically tailored to tackle Australian farm challenges—bigger gear, more dust, less downtime—by sealing out grit at moving points and coping with local conditions.

JSG’s National Sales Manager Brendon O’Loughlin explains: “We customise every lubrication kit for Aussie farms. That means extra output, better filling, and modifications for tough local conditions. Local assembly in Australia means faster service and support when it counts.”

Progressive lubrication is one of several automated options offered by JSG, alongside single-line, dual-line, multi-line and oil circulation systems. These solutions are designed for large-scale machinery; often equipment worth $1 million+, where maintenance delays quickly become costly.

JSG’s automatic lubrication options suit a range of broadacre and contractor equipment, including sprayers, harvesters, even balers and skid steers. Its lube technology has served Australia for decades and is now trusted worldwide across major farming regions from the United States and Canada to Brazil and Europe.

For farmers still weighing up automation, Brendon notes that most see a return on investment within two years, as over-greasing and breakdowns become things of the past. “Our kits don’t just cut the hassle of climbing over hot or wet machinery to manually grease; they reduce wasted lubricant and help farmers avoid expensive repairs. As well, most major agricultural OEMs specify auto-lube from day one.”

Now part of the global SKF Group, JSG Industrial has a strong local dealer network and warehouse support, ensuring 24-to-48-hour access to kits and parts during the business week. It’s making reliable, hands-off maintenance the new standard for tough Australian ag conditions.
