Avoiding unexpected downtime on your machines is important if you want to keep your farm running. With regular skid steer maintenance, your farm equipment can stay working so you can too.
Ben Rice | Agriculture Industry Representative
Keeping your farm equipment running smoothly is key to a productive day of work. When you experience unexpected downtime, it can cost you. That’s why you should be proactive about machine maintenance and stick to a schedule. Check out some skid steer maintenance tips below.
One of the best ways to make sure your skid steer or compact track loader is in good shape is to stick to a regular maintenance schedule. With scheduled maintenance, you can lower your overall maintenance costs by avoiding more expensive repairs down the road and extend the lifetime of your machine.
Farmers, especially dairy farmers, have another unique challenge when it comes to equipment. Corrosive environments aren’t very machine-friendly and can lead to rust damage if left untreated. Make sure to wash your machine as often as you can to remove any build-up.
You shouldn’t just perform maintenance according to your schedule, though. There are some skid steer maintenance best practices that you should do daily before running your machines.
By using these daily skid steer maintenance best practices and sticking to regularly scheduled maintenance, you can keep your agriculture equipment running smoothly all year long. For more on skid steer maintenance, check out this guide.
