AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR MAINTENANCE ANTONIO CARRARO
What maintenance tasks should be performed daily on the farm tractor? Can I perform the maintenance myself?
The answer is YES! There are small daily tasks that can be performed so that our tractor is always efficient and reliable.
These maintenance tasks on the tractor should be carried out daily or when there are warning lights indicating faults.
Checking and cleaning air conveyor
With the engine cold, open the air conveyor (as pictured) for cooling the cylinders and heads and clean with compressed air, and if necessary, wash the fins of the heads and cylinders with a pressure washer.
Always when the engine is cold, check the oil level via the oil dipstick that is generally located on the lower right side (as in the photo)
When the machine is hot Grease the agricultural tractor every 4 hours of work during the first 150 hours of work at the points indicated in the operation and maintenance manual, then every 8 hours of work thereafter, always when the machine is hot.
The large air filter should be “blown” only after the warning light comes on; many people make the mistake of blowing it with compressed air, but actually doing so damages the filter.
Blow the filter with a simple hair dryer with cold, low air from the inside to the outside. Do not bang it to drop excess dust because it may be damaged.
Doing so will allow your air filter to be used for 3 more times, after which it will still need to be replaced.
The safety cartridge, on the other hand, does not need to be blown but only replaced every 400 working hours or so.
Maintenance operations to be performed only at the first 50 hours of operation (with a new tractor)
- Remove the engine oil drain plug (this should be done in the evening so that the tank can be emptied completely), you will be able to replace the oil and engine oil filter generally the plug to fill the engine oil tank is located on the front right side (as pictured), the engine oil filter cartridge is located on the opposite side (see photo) and the engine oil drain plug is located in the oil pan
