Check the Owner’s Manual

Your tractor’s owner’s manual is the best place to find specific information about your given model. You can find the manufacturer’s recommendation about operating your machine and the products you should use or avoid on your model.

You can also find details about your tractor’s maintenance schedule, and you can follow them to maintain the overall health of your machine.

Store Your Tractor Indoors

Properly storing your tractor can also help maximize its output in the long run and keep it safer and more functional for your tasks. When you keep your machine indoors, you protect it from inclement weather and prevent common conditions like rust and corrosion from affecting it. Indoor storage space also keeps your model safe from crafty thieves and crooks.

Minimize Idle Time

In addition to the above points, you will want to keep your tractor's idle time to a minimum. Idling leads to wasted fuel and affects your machine’s performance over time. Typically, you will want to avoid letting it idle for more than a few minutes. Check your owner’s manual to find out what best works for your model.

We hope you find this guide handy when optimizing your tractor. If you need more advice or are still in the market for a new machine, visit SS Equipment.
