equipment referrals:
aerate: Curse Buster
oil filtration: 360MAFC
Aeration : CURSE BUSTER
Aerobic Microbes need air. The CurseBuster has 9″ tines that breaks compaction layers. The tine creates pockets and pushes the soil to right or left. It’s unique design has the tine of the rear gang find the same hole as the front gang pushing the soil the opposite way. The pockets in the soil are excellent for water absorption, reducing runoff and extremely effective with freeze/thaw and moon cycles. Loosened soil reduces weed pressure. Most tine wear occurs the first 2 years, yet annual use continues to bring soil health – well worth the $25-30/acre custom rate.
CurseBuster techniques:
– plan for 15hp/ foot of width (20′ and 30′)
– fall pass on corn stalk stubble
– spring pass before or after planting corn
– can use a dry fertility or cover crop seeding system for same pass application

Product Highlight: #360MAFC
#360MAFC is a patented magnetic collar for sliding on a spin-on filter element, reuse every filter change (it will outlast your equipment).
– Removes metals from Engine & Hydraulic oil, & Diesel
(25% of particles are <5 microns, passing most filters)
– Reduces damage to Bearings, Sleeves, Gears, Seals, etc.
US patent 7,662,282 B2: Maximum Magnetic Array possible
9 sizes of 360MAFC are available. Measure the outside diameter of each filter element in your operation / fleet. Go to www.magneticarrayfiltration.com for ordering. (Ask me for test results or a discount code).
This product is expected to improve engine efficiency and longevity, possibly reducing heat and early mechanical failures. Consider it an insurance policy to down time and repair costs. Use in hydraulic systems, particularly for closed loop circuits on sprayers, tractors, skid-steer loaders, and dozers. Every pumped fluid is inherent to pass pump wear into the fluid, especially consider diesel filters on refueling trailers and fuel-rail engines.
“Iron is the only wear metal that accurately and linearly increases with the length of time the oil has been in service. It has many sources inside the engine, most commonly coming from the cylinder liners, camshaft lobes, crankshaft journals, & oil pumps.” (RoyalOilUs.com Oct’20 Distributor Digest)

Power
“There’s no replacement for displacement”. In terms of engines, horsepower is king. Piston, sleeves and bearings need proper lubrication for fuel efficiency and mitigating heat and wear. Iron particles of the smallest size are like sandpaper in these tight tolerance locations causing more wear each time it is circulated. Use the 360MAFC on any standard spin-on filter to take metals out of recirculation.
Regarding hydraulic cylinders, the larger the diameter, the more force. With hydraulic motors, larger displacement is more torque at lower pressures. High pressures cause high demands on the hydraulic oil lubricity.
Hydraulic motors have efficiencies from 85%-98%, depending on the design type – when they are new. With use, clearances increase and efficiencies decrease. Iron particles and metals will deteriorate pump surfaces and cylinder seals. Maintain good filtration and oil cleanliness for long life. Use the 360MAFC on any standard spin-on filter to take metals out of recirculation.
Quality
Quality machine design has reliable parts, with a safety factor to absorb intermittent excess duty cycles.
Quality lubricants have longevity to perform under extreme conditions. “Off the shelf products” won’t have all the additives and agents provided by manufacturers like Royal Oil Company focused on extreme operating conditions. Equally, use with confidence quality lubricants from Conklin (contact me for membership benefits to direct order).
“If more business owners and maintenance managers shopped for lubricants the way an Olympic athlete shopped for groceries; downtime, failed parts and loss of production would be virtually non-existent. The materials selected to build a lubricant are critical to the end user. The correlation between our raw material selection, Royal’s product capabilities and our customer’s equipment performance is not accidental. High quality base oils and top tier additive packages are selected to benefit your equipment and your bottom line.” https://www.royaloilus.com/process/
Maintenance
Keeping equipment in top condition takes diligence in maintenance and care. Confidence in putting equipment to work season after season is priceless. Resale and trade-in values are maintained with proper care.
Use of #360MAFC magnetic collar is a breakthrough in removing metals from oils. Its use will diminish the sand paper effect on engine parts. Now you can change oil with confidence of full removal contaminants. Look for the #360MAFC or its decal on the equipment you intend to purchase. Resale your equipment for more premium than the $100-$200 collar.
