We carry DEF and the full line of DEF handling equipment, from hand pumps for barrels to powerful electric pumps for bulk storage totes and replacement parts. All of this and our DEF is the best price in town. Whether it’s a 10 litre jug, a 205 litre drum or a 1040 litre tote, we stock it for you at all times.
Q: What is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)?
A: It is a non-hazardous solution, which is 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionized water. DEF is sprayed into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles to break down dangerous NOx emissions into harmless nitrogen and water. This system is called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
Q: How much DEF do I need?
A: The amount of DEF consumed by your equipment varies depending on the size and make of the engine you’re running, how the engine is configured, and the load you put on it. Load factors and idle time play a big role here. Off road machines that use a full SCR system may consume DEF at a rate of 8 to 10 percent of fuel burned, to help control the NOX.
Q: How will I know that the DEF product I purchase will work?
A: The DEF you purchase should state and display the certification of the International Organization for Standardization ISO 22241. This will ensure the proper purity and concentration (32.5%) of urea.
Q: What is the freeze point of DEF?
A 32.5% solution of DEF will begin to crystallize and freeze at 12F (-11C). At 32.5%, both the urea and water will freeze at the same rate, ensuring that as it thaws, the fluid does not become diluted, or over concentrated. The freezing and unthawing of DEF will not cause degradation of the product.DEF expands by approximately 7% when frozen. DEF packaging and tanks are designed to allow for expansion
Q: What happens if the DEF freezes in the tank on my equipment?
A: During vehicle operation, SCR systems are designed to provide heating for the DEF tank and supply lines. If DEF freezes when the vehicle is shut down, start up and normal operation of the vehicle will not be inhibited. The SCR heating system is designed to quickly return the DEF to liquid form and the operation of the vehicle will not be impacted. The freezing and unthawing of DEF will not cause degradation of the product.
Q: Are there special storage requirements for DEF?
A: DEF should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. While the optimum storage temperature is up to 77F, temporary exposure to higher temperatures has little to no impact on the quality of DEF.
Q: What is the shelf life of DEF?
A: If DEF is stored at ambient temperatures of 77F with no major periods of exposure to heat over 86 F then the batch of DEF will last roughly two years. If a package of DEF is exposed to periods of heating the fluid will last approximately one year.
Q: Should I be concerned about handling DEF?
A: No. DEF is a nontoxic, nonpolluting, non-hazardous and nonflammable solution. It is stable, colorless, and meets accepted international standards for purity and composition. DEF is safe to handle and store and poses no serious risk to humans, animals, equipment or the environment when handled properly.
Q: Is DEF corrosive?
A: DEF is corrosive to copper and brass as well as other materials. Only approved materials, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) are used in the DEF tank, packaging and dispensing equipment.
Q: Is any maintenance required on the DEF Dosing Unit Filter?
A: The DEF Dosing Unit Filter will need to be replaced as part of routine maintenance.

At Young's Equipment it's all about providing you with the optimal tools you need for your farm, providing added value and finding the best solutions for you and your Equipment. That's why we would like to introduce two essential products for your harvesting operation to you:
MacDon FD Series FlexDraper® Headers are designed to contour to the ground on rolling terrain for a close even cut. However, when cutting off the ground, the FlexDraper frame is locked into rigid mode. This setting limits the FlexDraper’s ability to contour over rolling terrain. The ContourBuddy™ System solves that by allowing FlexDrapers to be used in Flex mode while cutting off the ground.
Take FlexDraper® Performance Over the Top! The ContourBuddy™ Performance Option is a simple mechanical system allowing the operator to run their FlexDraper unlocked in Flex, and utilize Auto Header Height mode while cutting crops off the ground. To accomplish this, the design uses strategically placed wheels under the FlexDraper for instant response of the Flex/Float system, mirroring the contours of the field while cutting up to 10 inches (250mm) from the ground surface.
The ContourBuddy™ provides operators with a number of performance benefits including:

Turbodrum is a heavy duty, high-capacity, retrofit feed drum for draper headers to replace the existing, standard feeder drum on draper heads. It comes complete with all internal components fully welded and assembled, ready to go. Just pull out your existing feed drum, then slip-in and install a Turbodrum - it’s that easy.
Turbodrum is a complete easy replacement feeder drum that fits Macdon D60 and FD75 headers. If you are reading this then you already know the frustration of slow harvest speeds in bulky crops like canola, and even worse, the blockages and breakdowns caused by the standard feeder drum in these headers. Turbodrum is an instant fix to problems such as slow harvest speeds in bulky crops, and even worse, blockages and breakdowns caused by the standard feed drum. Turbodrum allows you to go faster and get the crop off in less time at less cost. It feeds better and it’s reliable. Fitting the Turbodrum is quicker than fixing your original. Increase performance and efficiency and reduce loss of crop value.
With prices on the Turbodrum being lower or comparable to OEM feed drums it's a great option to increase the efficiency of your header. The Young's Equipment parts staff have the knowledge on this and all the parts you need for a no-hassle harvest, come in or call today!

In recent years, there has been a debate about whether the additional protection provided by synthetic oil is worth the higher price tag. Read on to learn how synthetic oil is different from conventional oil and what benefits this offers you.
Conventional lubricants are made from mineral base oils, which come directly from a natural source, mostly crude petroleum. Making these oils require less refining than synthetic oils which makes the end product less expensive. The downside to this more natural product is that the molecules in the oil are not uniform in size. This can create more friction and waste build up in the oil.
Synthetic oils also begin as crude petroleum but are highly refined to create a uniform molecular structure. This greatly increases lubrication performance providing extended protection in the most extreme conditions, increased fuel economy, and an extended service life.
Synthetic oils bring 5 main advantages over conventional oils:
