Downtime in the fields caused by field breakdowns is costly and time consuming. Many
breakdowns can be eliminated by periodic equipment maintenance. By spending a little time
running over this checklist, following proper after-season care, you can save time and
money later on.
Before Going To The Field :
1.
HYDRAULIC HOSES
Check all hoses for worn or soft spots.
Check to make sure hoses are not kinked
or pinched.
Check for leakage in any of the lines and
cylinders.
2.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replace all worn or damaged parts.
3.
VISUALLY INSPECT
Inspect tires for cracks and worn spots.
Inspect inside of Grain Cart, make sure that
all guards are in place and in good shape.
Be sure auger is free from any obstructions.
Inspect for any loose bolts, worn parts, or
cracked welds, and make any necessary
repairs.
After Season Care:
Open inner slide gate and grease the slide
rods. Open outer door to allow box to drain.
Keep auger folded back during storage.

maintenance locations).
Repack wheel bearings before storage.
