Regular tractor service ensures your machine works efficiently for a considerable amount of time, and that all attachment parts are in excellent condition. Every component should be inspected, from the tractor starter and hydraulics to the transmission and alternator.

Below are some tips on how to maintain your tractor over time.

What to Do During Regular Upkeep

Every time you use your tractor, perform a visual inspection of its visible parts. To keep the blades free of dirt and old grass clippings, rinse them with soap and water after use. Doing so will also prevent rust from forming. Inspect the tires for signs of wear or damage, as well as the switches and lights. Also, adjust the brake pedals as needed. Check the tractor starter, fluid levels, belts, and hoses. If there are any leaks, have them fixed immediately.

Why Tractor Service Is Important in the Spring

Before taking it out to cut grass, take some time to assess its parts and components. That way you can ensure your tractor will work efficiently in the field. Examine the engine carefully for buildup that may cause clogs as you drive. Lubricate all moving parts to reduce resistance and pressure.

The Proper Way to Store Your Tractor

Tractors have metal parts that can easily rust if exposed to rain and snow. Meanwhile, too much heat can tighten the tractor’s grease fittings and ruin its paint finish. Protect your investment by shielding it from the elements and storing it inside a garage or shed. That’s the best way to ensure a longer service life for your machine.
