Tips for tractor maintenance: Here's how to keep your tractor in tip-top condition
Avoid downtimes and increase the lifetime of your tractor with these simple maintenance tips.
Why regular maintenance is so important
A well-maintained tractor is safer, more efficient and more economical. Regular checks and maintenance extend the lifetime and prevent costly downtimes – especially during the peak season.
Adhere to maintenance intervals
Consult the log to find out when oil changes, filter replacements or other checks are due. Particularly important: Engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant, air and fuel filter and also tyres.
Check engine oil and cooling system
Change the engine oil and filter regularly and make sure you use the right type of oil. Check the coolant level and ensure there is sufficient antifreeze – especially before winter.
Clean the air and fuel filters
A clean air filter ensures optimum combustion and saves fuel. The fuel filter should also be changed regularly to avoid contamination.
Keeping an eye on tyres and chassis
Check the tyre pressure, tread depth and condition of the tyres. Check for damage and ensure correct alignment and balancing.
Check the hydraulic system regularly
Nothing works without hydraulics: Check the oil level, seals and hoses regularly and rectify leaks immediately.
Don't forget the accessory equipment
Accessory equipment also needs care: Lubricate, check for tight fit and, if necessary, use oils and greases according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Check electrics and lighting
Check the battery, alternator and lighting regularly. Clean cable connections and functioning lamps are essential – especially when working at dusk/dawn.
Avoid rust – protect your tractor
Clean the tractor regularly, especially after working in wet conditions. Treat rust spots in good time and park the tractor in a dry and well-ventilated area.
Summary: Care pays off
With a little attention and regular maintenance, your tractor will not let you down, and be safe and efficient to use for many years to come.
