Farm Equipment Breakdown Warning Signs

Your farm equipment is critical to your farming operations. Even a brief breakdown can mean a day or even days of non-productivity. You can be hard at work in the field and suddenly your equipment breaks down and you need urgent repairs to get back to work.

Don’t let that happen to you. To prevent a major breakdown, it’s important to be aware of the warning signs. They can indicate small issues that could lead to much bigger and more costly repairs. If you catch them when they are still small, you can take preventive measures that keep them small.

A Few Signs You Should Know:

Fluid leaks – Any puddles or oil leaks under the vehicle
Unusual noises or vibrations- Strange noises that are not normal for equipment
Hydraulic issues – Equipment not functioning properly
Electrical problems – Electrical system going on or off suddenly
Warning lights – Pay attention to warning lights

Reduced engine performance- If the engine isn’t working properly
Excessive smoke – Never ignore any sign of smoke or fire
Engine overheating – Puts equipment at high risk of breakdown
