Preventing Tractor Damage

A tractor is arguably a farmer’s most important piece of working equipment, and you likely want to do everything you can to avoid it breaking or falling into disrepair. While accidents are bound to happen, we encourage you to check out our article below to learn how to prevent tractor damage and ensure your model stays in top condition throughout its service. 

Clean 

The best way to avoid unnecessary damage to your tractor is to clean it regularly! Giving your tractor a thorough wash every 3 months or so can help keep dust, dirt, and debris from clogging up or slowing down important parts of your equipment. 

Lube

There are plenty of moving parts both inside and out of your tractor that will need to be lubed regularly. Staying on top of your tractor’s lube schedule can significantly decrease the overall wear and tear of your machine and allow these parts to last longer and perform better. Common parts that will need to be lubed regularly include belts, joints, bearings, hitches, and any attachments or implements you have installed on your model. 

Inspect 

Quickly inspecting your tractor before each use is one of the best ways to ensure you catch small issues before they become serious problems. If allowed to sit and fester, even the smallest mechanical problem can become a serious issue and seriously damage many of your tractor’s important pieces of equipment. To avoid this, be sure to give your tractor a quick once-over every time you start up the engine.
