Maintenance is a vital part of owning a tractor, and you want to keep your machine in tip-top shape to let it continue serving you for years. Learning about the common problems you might encounter when operating your equipment can help you take appropriate steps to nip them in their buds.

Dull Blades

Over time and with regular use, your tractor’s attachment blades can become blunt, requiring your machine to work extra hard to accomplish your tasks. This will put unnecessary strain on your equipment and wear down the implements further. If you neglect the issue, it can lead to costly repairs down the line.

As a preventive measure, file the blades every six months or so, or more frequently, depending on your use. Although you can remove and sharpen decks with single blades, you should trust only the experts to hone any bigger models. Visit our repair shop at Crownstone Equipment to get your model in perfect shape.

Electrical Issues

If you haven’t used your tractor for a few weeks and notice it fails to start, it can be due to your drained-out battery. This common problem can cause various electrical issues and lead to downtime at work. Thankfully, you can apply this simple fix to get it functioning again. All you need to do is charge your battery and examine the battery terminals for any material residue. If there is any buildup, clean the parts to remove the deposits and get your battery to work smoothly again.

We hope you find these tips handy when servicing your tractor. If you have more questions or need help repairing your machine, visit Crownstone Equipment.
