Tractor Maintenance Tips

Staying on top of tractor maintenance tasks is one of the best ways to keep your equipment working well. Although it will occasionally be necessary to visit the service department, there are a handful of things you can do at the farm to maintain your tractor. Our team at Maxx Outdoor & Equipment has a few tips to share!

Don’t Ignore the Owner’s Manual 

Just because the owner’s manual can make a great fire starter doesn’t mean it should! Consulting the manual is a great way to learn about your specific model and find out what products should be used. You can learn more about the specifications, the suggested tire pressure, and what oil type is used in your tractor’s engine. 

Check and Change the Fluids

There is a lot that goes on in order to make your tractor run correctly and the moving parts need to have the right fluids to keep going. You should regularly be checking the engine oil, radiator fluid, hydraulic oil, and even the fuel to make sure the levels are adequate and the liquid is not sludgy or discolored. 

Good Tires Matter

It can be easy to avoid checking the tire pressure and condition, but they are some of the most important elements of your tractor. The tires help you get work done by getting you from the farm to the field and by helping you accomplish tasks in the field without sinking. The air pressure and the condition of each tractor can play a huge role in how well your tractor performs.
