Kramp, the agricultural spare parts and accessories specialist, has signed a new agreement with Shell Lubricants.

Through its network of 3,500 dealerships, Kramp say they will offer UK farmers access to Shell’s portfolio of heavy-duty engine oils, transmission oils and greases for use in agriculture. 

“It’s easy to think of oils and lubricants as a commodity item,” says Kramp’s assortment manager Craig Marsh, “and indeed they might cost only 1-2% of a farm’s total maintenance costs. Yet good lubricant practice is inextricably linked to lower total cost of ownership,” he points out.

“By optimising lubricant selection and choosing oils specifically designed for heavy-duty field work, farmers can also improve fuel efficiency and reduce oil change intervals," he says.

The new agreement, which has gone into effect this month (August 2023), means UK farmers will be able to order products such as Shell Rimula, Shell Tellus and Shell Gadus online or through their local Kramp dealer, for next-day delivery.
