While it is always recommended to perform regular maintenance on your tractor throughout the year, once the seasons start to change and the temperature drops, tractor maintenance becomes more important than at any other time during the year.
Seasonal changes to colder temperatures, coupled with less frequent use, introduces your tractor to new demands and challenges. Giving your tractor some much needed TLC can pay dividends in performance and decrease the likelihood of unexpected downtime.
Whether you’re stowing your tractor away for the winter or plan to keep it in operation, here are some tips to get you ready for the cold season:
1. Familiarize yourself with your tractor
When was the last time you read through your tractor’s operator’s manual? The operator’s manual should be the first place you look when you have questions about your tractor. If you no longer have your operator’s manual, visit your local dealer to get a replacement. The operator’s manual is invaluable in providing you with specific information for your model of tractor.
