As there are many different types and brands of tractors available in the market,Tractor Care: Tips for Maintenance Articles there is no particular guide available about guidance for Tractor maintenance. But you can consider the following steps to maintain your tractor.

• Studying Usage manual

The manual has the specific instructions for the maintenance of the tractor. Manual contains all the important instruction about maintenance schedule, specifications, and lubricants along with other basic operating instructions.

• Tools

Tractor maintenance requires use of various tools that should be bought in advance.

• Radiator Screen

Conditions in which tractors are used can lead to serious damages to the tractor components if not kept a check on. Debris may accumulate on the radiator.

• Check Fluids regularly

It is important to keep a check on leakages because they may lead to damage of some expensive component of the tractor. Engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, hydraulic oil and battery electrolyte must be checked, by referring to manual about the process of checking.

• Lubrication

Keep the brake linkages lubricated, and make sure the brakes are adjusted equally. Old tractors require specific lubricants and using wrong fluid can cause damage. Tractors have more moving parts that require greasing, than other automobiles. Lubrication should be kept in check.

• Do not overload your tractor

Tractor should not be loaded more than its capacity, overloading can cause serious damage to the tractor. If you are using your tractor for cultivation or mowing, a recommended size of attachment should be added not more than that.

• Other important instructions

Keep an eye on the temperature, oil pressure, and tachometer. If a hose (or belt) appears damaged, worn, or cracked, replace it. If fittings or connections are leaking, tighten them or replace the seals.
