Inspect the Machines Regularly
Regular visual inspections help identify potential issues before they grow into real problems. It will just take you a couple minutes to thoroughly assess the condition of your farm equipment from top to bottom and inside-out.

Keep the Right Tools Handy
To be able to handle even minor issues, you need to have access to the right tools. Refer to the checklist below to see if there is any missing from your kit:
- Filters (oil, air, fuel, hydraulic)

- Engine oil
- Hydraulic oil
- Grease fittings
- Lynch pins

Other than these, you may also want to keep the standard tools handy. This includes hammers, gaskets, washers, and screwdrivers.
