Durability is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing agricultural spare parts.

Engine

Agricultural equipment can be mobile (like tractors, harvesters and plows) or fixed in place (like conveyor belts and mixers).

Running Smoothly

One of the most complicated components of a farm machine is the engine. Keeping it running smoothly and efficiently can help you get the most out of your equipment and avoid costly repairs down the road. Taking a proactive approach to farm equipment maintenance can save you money. It can also extend the life of your machinery.

inspecting

Besides inspecting the engine itself, it’s also worth taking note of its fuel, oil, spark and compression – all of which play important roles in the performance of your machine.

transmission

The transmission is the most important part of your vehicle, so it is crucial that it receives regular maintenance. A regular service can help add longevity to the transmission and save you money over time.

transmission

Generally, a transmission should be serviced every 30,000 miles or so. However, this schedule can vary based on your specific application.

tractor’s

It is also a good idea to regularly check your tractor’s Zerk fittings, which are used for connecting various parts of the tractor together.

Damaged

Damaged or missing Zerk fittings can cause major issues. Keep a spare set on hand so you can replace them easily.

power

They are also used to power the engines of tractors and other large agricultural equipment.

Hydraulics

Hydraulics are an important component of agricultural machinery. They help machines lift and lower implements, change the position of their components, operate remote hydraulic motors, and assist steering and braking. They are typically designed to work in harsh environments, so they need to be made durable and efficient.
They must be versatile and adaptable, especially since the prime movers and supply of input hydraulics can vary. They must be able to convert and transmit the power from the engine to the necessary hydraulic circuits for a range of applications.

Periodic Maintenance

Both types of machines need periodic maintenance to ensure their reliability. For example, a properly sized oil reservoir can save you money on fuel. In addition, a clean air filter and proper tire inflation are also key to your machine’s longevity. If you’re looking to save a few dollars on gas, consider replacing your tires every year or two with newer models that can save you money in the long run. It’s rare to find a tractor without a PTO, even compact tractors have them. They differ in their ability to operate for a long period of time, with some being able to run up to 10 hours a day.

Machinery

PTOs transfer power from a tractor’s engine to machinery and implements that lack their own engines. This is why almost all modern tractors have one. When working with a PTO-driven machine, workers should always disengage the PTO before getting off a tractor. This helps prevent limbs from becoming entangled with the spinning shaft and reduces the chance of injury or death. Having properly maintained tires is essential to keep your farm equipment operating safely and efficiently. Performing regular maintenance on your tires can increase the lifespan of their tread and save you money in the long run.

Potholes

Ideally, inspect your tires every month, especially if you drive over potholes, live in a cold climate or drive a lot of miles. This is also a good time to make sure your spare tire is inflated and ready for use in case of an emergency. Keeping your tires properly inflated and inspected is one of the best ways to prevent costly tire replacement down the road. If your tires aren’t properly inflated, they won’t have the proper grip on the road and will likely cause more wear and tear on the other parts of your vehicle. One of the most important components to keep up with is your machine’s electrical system. This is not only to protect the life of your equipment but also to help prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace.
