September is coming, and your agricultural equipment is about to go to great lengths. It means your machine will be heavily used. To ensure the operation during the harvesting season, we need to take actions beforehand, like repairing, adjusting, and maintaining the agricultural machinery, etc., to keep the agricultural machinery high-performance and safe.
Reasons to be proactive about agricultural machine maintenance in September
Good for business
Performing maintenance in September ensures equipment operation smoothly, prolongs the life of equipment, and reduces breakdowns and downtime.Plus, September is also the beginning of the agricultural machinery storage season, so maintenance can be ready for the next planting season.
Farm machinery storage season
For some regions, September marks the start of the agricultural machinery storage season. Before being stored, maintenance can extend the life of the equipment and prepare it for the next growing season.
Agricultural machinery maintenance intervals
Agricultural machinery often requires regular maintenance to ensure its performance and reliability. For some equipment, September may be part of a maintenance cycle, such as changing oil, fuel filters, lubricants, etc. Luckily, the manufacturer’s recommendations and maintenance manual help minimize equipment breakdowns and repair costs when maintenance.
Prevention and maintenance
Regular maintenance of agricultural machinery can help detect and prevent potential problems. By inspecting and cleaning equipment, problems such as wear, looseness, and oil leakage can be detected early and appropriate measures can be taken to repair them, thereby avoiding more serious damage and expensive repair costs.
Safety
Maintaining agricultural machinery also helps ensure the safety of operators.
How to maintain your agriculture machine?
Regular inspection and maintenance
During the use of agricultural machinery, a lot of dust and oil stains will be generated, which will affect the normal use of agricultural machinery. Thus, it is wise to maintain the agricultural machinery regularly, including cleaning the surface and internal parts of the machine, changing the oil and filter, checking the circuit and pipeline, etc. Under normal circumstances, the maintenance time of agricultural machinery is every 100-200 hours or once a quarter.
Correct use of agricultural machinery
Follow the operation regulations in the operation manual of the agricultural machinery, and do not change the settings of the machine at will.
In daily use, refuel and change the oil on time for agricultural machinery according to the maintenance rules. Regularly clean each lubrication system to keep the lubricating oil path unimpeded.
Do not overload the agricultural machinery to avoid damage to the machine.
Storage environment
Agricultural machinery should be stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse to prevent the machine from being damp and rusted.
The parts made of iron or steel should not be in contact with the soil as much as possible to avoid corrosion.
During the storage process, pay attention to the protection against rodents and insects, and keep the machine clean.
Agricultural machinery that has not been used for a long time should be treated with anti-corrosion treatment.
You may need maintenance accessories
If you have noticed some parts that need to be replaced or spared during previous maintenance, it may be a wise choice to have repair parts in advance. This avoids equipment downtime due to a lack of parts at critical moments. In addition, if you know that certain parts are prone to wear or failure in September, you can also prepare these accessories in advance.
If you plan to equip some accessories that are prone to wear and tear in advance, you can refer to the equipment manual to determine how many parts you need. And, there are various maintenance accessories for your option, or you can contact us freely.
May your agricultural equipment kick off smoothly in September and yield a bountiful harvest!
