A Comprehensive Tractor Repair Guide for Beginners

Maintenance is critical to owning a tractor, and you should take all possible measures to keep your equipment in tip-top shape. Proactive and regular inspections can help you spot hidden issues in your machinery and prevent them from causing further damage. Here are a few tips to help you keep your tractor safe and working smoothly year after year!

Blade Maintenance

Over time and with regular use, the blades of your tractor can become blunt, causing your equipment to work harder than necessary. This can impact productivity and lead to costly repairs. However, you can easily prevent this by filing your blades every six months or more frequently, depending on usage.

If you own a large tractor, we recommend you get its blades sharpened by experts. Our service department at Central Machinery Sales can help keep your tractor in perfect shape, so reach out today!

Electrical Issues

If you notice that your tractor fails to start after a few weeks of not being used, it's likely because the battery has drained. To fix this, charge your battery and inspect the battery terminals for any residue. If there's any buildup, clean the parts to remove the deposits and make your battery work smoothly again.

DIY repair tips are helpful for those who have the tools and experience to handle tractor maintenance. However, tractors are big-ticket investments, and you’ll want to avoid damaging your machine by trying to tackle something more than you can handle.
