Client Background

An agricultural cooperative in central Albania manages a fleet of 20 tractors from different OEMs, including John Deere, New Holland, and Kubota. These machines are used for plowing, harvesting, and spraying in hilly terrain.

Operational Challenge

• Operators reported rough gear shifts and wet brake chatter
• Hydraulic implements lifted slowly under load
• Existing oil showed premature oxidation, causing filter plugging
• Cross-contamination between systems led to frequent top-offs and oil blending issues

Solution

Eurotec introduced its UTTO, which provides:

• Balanced friction properties for smooth wet brake performance
• Thermal and oxidative stability for shared hydraulic/transmission systems
• Good anti-wear performance for gear and clutch protection
• Compatibility with major OEM specifications

Implementation Process

• Old fluids drained and flushed from all compartments
• Eurotec Farmtec UTTO 10W-30 filled and filters replaced
• Field performance monitored over one full harvest cycle
• Operator feedback recorded for shift performance and lift response

Measured Results

• Shift smoothness improved in 100% of tractors
• Wet brake noise eliminated in all cases
• Hydraulic responsiveness increased by 35%, improving field efficiency
• Fuel efficiency gains of 2–3% due to smoother drivetrain operation
• Cooperative voted to standardize UTTO across the entire machinery base

Customer Statement

"We no longer have to worry about brake noise or mixed performance - Eurotec Farmtec UTTO 10W-30 brought uniformity and reliability to every field task."
