Preparing Your Tractor for Spring Work

Although some tractors are put to use year-round, there are a few things you should do before the spring season begins to get your tractor ready. Our team at Central Machinery Sales can help you begin spring preparations! Continue reading for a few tasks you can do.

Complete an Inspection

Before doing anything else, it’s a smart idea to complete a thorough inspection of your tractor to identify any potential problems. Look for fluid leaks, damage, corrosion, and build-up that weren’t noted before storage or weren’t present during the last inspection. This will give you a starting point and help to determine what tasks should be prioritized.

Check the Engine and Belts

It’s also important to check the engine and belts before you fire up your tractor for the spring. Make sure no small animals have inhabited any spaces under the hood and check that there are no cracks in any belts.

Check Tire Condition

Storage and lack of use can be difficult on tires. You will need to check the condition of each one before you head to the field. This includes the tire pressure, tread depth, and tire walls. Pay attention to any signs of damage or wear that occurred during the winter months to determine if any tires need to be replaced.
