Q: How often should I service my farm equipment?

Sticking to manufacturer-recommended service intervals protects your warranty, prevents costly breakdowns during critical windows and maximises resale value. Intervals are typically measured in engine hours rather than calendar time.Equipment typeMinor serviceMajor serviceTractorsEvery 250 hrsEvery 1,000 hrs or annuallyCombine harvestersEvery 100 hrsPre-season & post-seasonSprayersEvery 50 hrsAnnual NSTS + 250 hrsTelehandlersEvery 500 hrsEvery 1,000 hrs + LOLERBalersEvery 5,000 balesPre-season checkWhat a major service includesFluids: Engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, coolant and all filtersDrivetrain: Inspect clutch, gearbox and axles, check for wearElectrics: Battery health test, alternator output, wiring loom inspectionSafety: Brakes, ROPS integrity, lights and road-legal complianceWe offer fixed-price servicing and farm-visit call-outs across the UK.

Q: Which lubricants and oils should I use in my machinery?

Using the correct lubricant grade is one of the simplest ways to extend equipment life. Always check your operator manual first, but the following are the industry-standard specifications for most modern agricultural machinery.ApplicationRecommended gradeDiesel engine oilSAE 10W-40 or 15W-40, API CJ-4/CK-4Hydraulic systemISO VG 46 (or VG 68 in hot conditions)Transmission / UTTOUniversal Tractor Transmission Oil to JDM J20CWheel bearings / pivotsEP2 lithium complex grease, NLGI-2PTO shaftsMoly-fortified EP greaseGearboxes (final drive)SAE 80W-90 GL-5Best practiceNever mix grades: Different additive packs can react and reduce performanceClean before greasing: Wipe nipples to avoid pushing grit into bearingsWarm oil drains better: Run the machine briefly before an oil changeDispose responsibly: Used oil must go to a licensed waste carrier under UK regulationsWe stock a full range of branded lubricants and can deliver bulk orders.

Q: How do I prevent rust on my farm equipment?

Rust is the biggest enemy of farm equipment resale value. A consistent cleaning and protection routine will keep panels, frames and implements looking good and working reliably for decades.Weekly preventionPressure wash: Remove soil, slurry and fertiliser residue — these hold moisture against steelDry off: Use compressed air on joints and crevices, especially after washingTouch up chips: Dab paint chips with matching primer and topcoat straight awaySeasonal protectionCavity wax: Spray inside chassis sections and box-frame implementsLanolin spray: Natural, food-safe rust inhibitor for exposed linkagesAnti-corrosion grease: Coat bright-metal surfaces such as ram chrome and PTO splinesUnderbody seal: Renew every couple of years on road-going equipmentAlready rusty? Treat itWire brush: Remove loose scale down to sound metalRust converter: Phosphoric acid-based products neutralise remaining oxidePrime & paint: Zinc-rich primer followed by two topcoatsWe supply rust-treatment kits and can arrange professional refurbishment.
