Getting Your Farm Equipment Ready for Spring: Essential Steps

The first step in preparing farm equipment for spring field work is thorough inspection and cleaning. Start by removing dirt, grease, and plant material from your machinery. This ensures any early signs of wear or damage are clearly visible, aiding in a thorough inspection.

Repair Work and Replacement

Worn-out parts are not only inefficient but can pose a significant risk to the overall functionality of your machinery. Regular servicing can increase equipment life expectancy often saving you from costly repairs down the line. Always ensure any worn-out or broken parts are repaired or replaced as necessary.

Fluid Checks and Top-Ups

Ensure the performance of your machinery by checking oil levels, brake fluid, coolant, and hydraulic fluids. Top up where necessary following the manufacturers' recommendations.

Winter Storage Preparation

If you have some units that will not be used until later seasons like harvesters and hay balers, it's crucial to properly prepare them for winter storage. Consider adding fuel stabilizer to protect the engine from varnish build-up until its next use in season.
