COMPETITOR OVERVIEW & PROOF OF PERFORMANCE

CUSTOMER BENEFITS OF OUR TECHNOLOGY

• Extended equipment life – high viscosity after shear gives added protection to

gears, bearings, pumps, etc, compared to products that shear down quickly

• Low temperature pumpability – excellent low temperature viscosity can give

smoother startup and operation; minimising wear and optimising designed

efficiency

• Excellent oxidation control – premium base oil and advanced formulation

helps keep metal parts clean and free of varnish and sludge deposits that could

result in premature breakdown

• Quality and consistency – some samples from independent producers showed

reduced additive treat rate, failing low temp pumpability and deposit tendency

• Smooth operation – formulated to suppress brake chatter and transmission slip

for quiet and efficient action of brakes and transmissions

TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID:COMPETITOR LANDSCAPE

OEM Genuine Fluid – John Deere markets the leading OEM THF:

• John Deere recommends the use of their OEM genuine product for warranty

coverage and equipment reliability protection

• Other OEMs in the market include:

– Caterpillar

– Case New Holland

– Kubota

– Mahindra


10

TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID:COMPETITOR LANDSCAPE

Major oil company brands:

• Typically have 2 to 3 tiers of THF branded offerings

• Normally they meet the widest range of OEM claims or have been tested in OEM

equipment/test stands

• Target OEM factory fill and aftermarket sales

• Use lubricant distributors and retail channels for additional sales distribution to

agricultural customers

Independent blenders:

• Aggressively target the agriculture market – focus or are part of farm co-ops for

distribution

• They tend to offer market general or lower types of THF offerings with limited OEM

claims – typically JD J20C only

• They also offer a tier of ‘value’ products that are very inexpensive and can range in

quality levels and formulations based on price point offers.

Texaco® 1000 thf:Extended life with oxidation stability

In the agricultural and construction businesses, equipment experiences severe

operating conditions which can compromise lubricant performance through higher

oxidation stress and quicker breakdown of lubricant properties

Higher oxidation stress generates

more corrosive acids that lead to:

• Sludge and varnish formation

• Increase in lubricant viscosity

• Corrosion

• Deposits

• Diminished product life

Texaco 1000 THF is formulated to

provide long oxidation life which

provides:

• Excellent sludge and varnish

control

• Excellent fluid flow

• Outstanding equipment protection

Texaco® 1000 thf:Extended life with shear stability

THF products have a high Viscosity Index (VI) to maintain proper fluid flow and

equipment protection at both high and low temperature operations. Shear stability is

important to maintain proper lubrication and protection

As lubricants shear, viscosity

control is reduced and can lead

to:

• Inadequate film strength

• Poor wear protection

• Lower efficiency &

component life

Texaco 1000 THF is formulated to

provide very good shear stability

which provides:

• Excellent viscosity control

• Great high temperature protection

• Extended equipment protection

TROUBLESHOOTING THF PROBLEMS IN THE FIELD


24

Texaco® 1000 thf:Troubleshooting field issues

Poor friction properties

• Brakes

– Brake noise

– Brake discs wear faster

– Parking brake function & ability to stop

• Worn transmission and PTO (Power Take Off) clutches due to slippage

• No ability to ‘stall’ to protect PTO and drive line clutch in severe application

…protect against shorter equipment life and unexpected downtime!


25


Poor oxidation stability

• Sludge build up in the:

– Transmission component – unable to shift due to tight tolerance,

especially in case of sophisticated shift

– Tight-tolerance valves – valve sticking

– Filter – filter plugging

• Oil thickening resulting in:

– Oil viscosity being too high

– More frequent oil drain from using a low tier oil

…protect against shorter equipment life and unexpected downtime!


26


Poor shear stability

• Film strength is too low

• Wear in bearings/gears due to low film thickness

• Internal leakage

– Higher fuel consumption from less than optimal volumetric efficiency

– Wear in clutches due to slow fill rates of shift pistons

– Noise and wear in pumps

– Higher operating temperature due to heat generation (from internal

leakage in hydraulic and transmission components)

Poor high temperature performance

• Low Viscosity Index (VI)

– Oil thins at elevated temperatures
