When you’re waiting for spring, you can increase your productivity by ensuring that your tillage equipment is ready for the season. A lot of what you’ll be doing is basic maintenance, but it’s always a good idea to brush up on these skills so you’re prepared. Whether you’re a beginner or you’re an expert in the farming industry, you’ll benefit from our tillage equipment spring maintenance tips
Visual Inspection
The best way to spot an issue that needs to be fixed is with a thorough visual inspection. Your equipment will have several moving parts and you don’t want to wait for something to malfunction to figure out that something is wrong. Regardless of how big or small the problem might be, you should at least make a note of it so you can decide if it requires professional attention. If not, you can proceed to try and fix the problem yourself. Keep in mind that many farms tend to be quiet during the colder months. If you’re ahead of schedule with your spring maintenance, you should be able to get an opening with the mechanic for any issues that need to be addressed.
Prepare Your Equipment
The next step in readying yourself for the season is to tend to your tillage equipment. This is especially true if your machines have been gathering dust in storage for the past few months. If you chose not to clear your equipment during the fall season, now is the time to do so. This will help keep your implements in good working order.
