Every farmer knows the feeling: it is the middle of seeding or harvest, a bearing fails or a PTO shaft snaps, and the machine sits idle while you wait on parts. Those delays are rarely cheap, and rush orders make them worse.
Winter is the best time to prepare. A few steps now can save you time and money when the season starts.
Your pre-season checklist
1. Inspect early
Go through your tillage, seeding and harvest equipment while there is still time to order. Look for worn blades, loose or noisy bearings, damaged PTO shafts, cracked belts and stretched chains.
2. Make a wear-parts list
Write down every part that is worn or likely to fail, with the machine, brand and part number if you have it. The usual suspects are:
- Blades and cutting parts
- Bearings
- PTO shafts
- Belts and chains
3. Order ahead
Ordering before the rush helps you avoid premium pricing and long waits. Parts shipped from overseas need extra lead time, so planning now matters even more.
4. Compare your sources
Quality parts can come from more than one supply chain. Getting a second quote, especially for parts you buy in volume, can make a real difference to your yearly costs.
