Caring for Tractor Attachments

Your tractor is an important tool for your operation, but it needs the right attachments to really get the job done. This means along with caring for your tractor, you should also be maintaining its implements and attachments. Our team at Tractor Bob is here to help with all your tractor needs, so we’ve put together a quick care guide for your attachments.

Understand the Limitations

The best way to care for your attachments is to understand their limitations and don’t overwork them. Consult the owner’s manual for information regarding weight limits and specifications. You can also find maintenance recommendations for your implements as well.

Choosing to ignore the model’s limitations can result in damage, reduced performance, and unsafe working conditions.

Be a Good Recordkeeper

After you’re familiar with your attachments, make sure to keep detailed records of how they’re used and when they receive maintenance. Keeping a log for how many hours they’ve worked and what tasks they’ve done can help you determine when maintenance tasks should be completed. Although it’s useful to keep a routine schedule for things like greasing joints or changing blades, your schedule should be determined by the attachment’s use.

Perform Regular Inspections

The last thing you can do to keep your tractor attachments in top shape is to regularly complete inspections. You can do a quick inspection before and after each use to catch signs of any issues early on.
