When a tractor is ploughing a field in wet and windy weather, the tractor body and the add-on parts are exposed to stone chips, moisture and mud. Despite these tough conditions, new technologies are now available for pre-treating and coating farming machinery cost-effectively.

The pre-treatment systems used in the production of agricultural machinery have to fulfil a range of functions. On the one hand, the coating must be highly robust and durable, while on the other hand for cost reasons a high level of protection has to be achieved for the chassis, cross-members and add-on parts after only one or two coatings.
