B&B Engineered Lube Systems is a Kansas company that sells and installs automated lubrication systems from Lincoln Industrial for any kind of farm equipment. One system can lube up to 300 points on a piece of equipment.
    “We deal with customers who spend a lot of time greasing machines...and many who don’t spend enough time greasing them,” says Braden Hawk, B&B Engineered Lube Systems.
    Hawk says most systems are installed on site in about a day. The compact design is easy to install, even when space is limited. Cost of installation depends on difficulty and the number of lubrication points to be connected.
    “A combine is usually harder than a sprayer, but has fewer points,” notes Hawk. “A Gleaner combine usually runs about $4,000, but that includes parts, labor, travel to the site, and customer training.”
    He adds that the system is easy to work with, and if any problems occur, it is easy to adjust. Hawk argues that automated lubrication actually improves machine operation over manual greasing, no matter how thorough.
    “The automated system lubricates while the machine is working,” he says. “Because the bearings are moving, grease gets distributed more evenly. You don’t over lubricate.”
    B&B has shops in Hutchinson and Overland Park, Kan., and services all of Kansas, Nebraska, the western half of Missouri, and the southwestern corner of Iowa. Hawk says they would be glad to refer customers outside that area to other dealers, or potential customers can contact Lincoln Industrial (www.lincolnindustrial.com; ph 314 679-4200).
    “We offer a 1-year parts and labor warranty, and our field technicians can be in an area in a day or two at the most,” he says. “Most of our competitors’ systems are made overseas and can take weeks for parts to arrive.”
