The next time you reach for that breadbasket at a restaurant, or an ear of corn at the farmer’s market, you’re probably enjoying the bounty of the US agricultural industry. And, indirectly, the expertise of TriStar Plastics Corp., who supply leading equipment manufacturers with the bearings they need to build the machines that till and plant the fields.
A bushel and a peck
According to the USDA, the United States is now the world’s largest agricultural exporter, with roughly one out of every three acres planted specifically for international export. The demand for US-grown wheat is at an all-time high, and as gasoline prices continue to soar, many farms are using the occasion to increase their corn crop for use in biofuel.
All this is good news for the manufacturers of tractors and other farming machinery. And at TriStar, we are proud to partner with industry leaders to help deliver consistent, high-quality crops with our Ultracomp® composite bearings.
Helping the harvest
To maximize the harvest, farmers rely on their equipment to perform flawlessly, particularly during the crucial planting season. Ultracomp® bearings are ideally suited for this task. They are found on the heavy-duty tillage and seeding machines commonly hauled behind tractors. These machines are constantly exposed to the harsh elements, and must be able to penetrate all types of soil, break up dirt clods, and prepare the seedbeds for planting.
Ultracomp® bearings are prized for their self-lubricating design, which can minimize equipment breakdown and save time on regular maintenance and greasing. And since Ultracomp® bearings absorb very little moisture, they can easily withstand the continual spraying of pesticides and herbicides required in farming.
From seeding and germination, to cultivation and harvest, TriStar’s Ultracomp® composite bearings have certainly found a home on the range!
