Farmers know a thing or two about preventative maintenance. In Zimbabwe’s agricultural sector, where farming machinery is expensive to import or purchase, maintenance is an absolute necessity. Tractors, trucks, and other diesel-powered farm equipment are the workhorses that drive productivity, so farm owners and managers must look after these machines. 

Bardahl additives and lubricants provide a tried-and-tested solution that keeps maintenance costs low while restoring the performance of engines, gearboxes, and mechanical components, ultimately protecting your agricultural investments. The brand is a pioneer in the development and production of innovative lubricants and additives. 

With a rich history in engineering and a dedication to quality, Bardahl has built a reputation for delivering solutions that offer extraordinary results. For decades, Bardahl has been at the forefront of producing formulations that not only lubricate but also actively clean and maintain mechanical components. 

Cutting Edge is the supplier of Bardahl additives and lubricants in Zimbabwe, bringing this quality and performance to our hard-working farmers. Let’s take a closer look at the range of Bardahl products specifically designed for farmers…

Additives and lubricants for farmers

Cutting Edge imports a range of Bardahl products specifically suited to the needs of Zimbabwean farmers, including the following:

  • Bardahl 5-in-1 Cleaner – This multi-purpose product comes in two forms. One for petrol engines and one for diesel engines. It is an essential tool for preserving the efficiency and power of tractors and other diesel farm equipment. The additive effectively cleans fuel injectors, combustion chambers, and the whole fuel system, resulting in increased fuel economy, smoother operation, and fewer harmful emissions.
  • Bardahl BDC – To address the issues of fuel quality and potential contamination, BDC Anti-Pollution improves combustion, reduces smoke, and protects the fuel system from carbon deposits. It increases the cetane rate of diesel, which helps to improve fuel burn and ensure consistent performance even with fluctuating fuel grades. BDC also lubricates the cylinders and valves within the diesel engine.
  • Engine Flush – Regular oil changes are essential, and using Bardahl Engine Flush before an oil change helps to remove damaging sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits from the engine, allowing the new oil to work better from the moment it’s poured into the engine. Engine Flush prolongs the lifespan of new oil and helps to prevent overheating, too. Use it at every oil change.
  • Bardahl B1 and B2 Oil Treatments – These two products improve the qualities of engine oil, increasing resistance to wear, friction, and thermal breakdown, even under the heavy loads and lengthy working hours prevalent in agriculture. B1 is a preventative treatment, whereas B2 is a curative treatment. Both can be added to oil to reduce consumption and keep maintenance costs to a minimum.
  • Bardahl BD50 – This is a penetrating lubricant designed to remove hard rust and corrosion from nuts, bolts, and other machinery parts. It also removes moisture and cleans components, making maintenance and repairs easier while also reducing damage to parts.
  • Bardahl Radiator Oil Remover – This additive removes oil contamination from within the radiator, restoring its cooling effectiveness. Pour it into the radiator cap to degrease and clean the cooling system from the inside. It removes deposits and helps to improve coolant circulation.
  • Bardahl Radiator Stop Leak – As its name suggests, this additive seals minor leaks in the radiator and hoses, limiting coolant loss and ensuring the engine runs at the proper temperature. It also protects against rust and corrosion, and can be used on any radiator.
  • Bardahl Belt Dressing – The belts that power components on farm machinery are subjected to severe stress. Belt Dressing is a spray that helps to increase belt grip, minimise slippage, and extend the belt life, resulting in effective power transfer and reduced downtime. It also prevents squeaks and noises by repelling water and moisture from the belt assembly.
  • Bardahl Brake & Parts Cleaner – This is a spray that cleans mechanical components by eliminating grease, oil, and grime buildup. It removes stains and can be sprayed on any part, whether in the engine, gearbox, cooling system or wheels.
  • Bardahl Contact Spray – Tractors, combine harvesters, trucks and mechanised farm machinery all have electrical contacts. This spray is designed to clean and restore these contacts, which is useful in dusty or muddy environments. It repels water and removes dust, oil and grease from the contact casing.
