Seven protective measures for farm machinery and implements to get through the winter
Farm machinery and implements need seven protections for the winter
(Agricultural Wealth Network) First, prevent wood from rotting. Some machine parts are made of wood; when storing them, wash them clean, dry them in the air, coat them with tung oil, and place them in a ventilated, dry place.
Second, prevent iron parts from rusting. In winter, remove them, wash them clean, and after drying coat them with used engine oil to prevent rust.
Third, prevent battery sulfation. When large and medium-sized tractors are parked for a long time, remove the battery, coat the surfaces of the terminals and chain with petroleum jelly, then place it in a warm room, and note that it must be charged once every 1 month.
Fourth, prevent electric motors from getting damp. When electric motors are not used for a long time, they should be placed in a dry, ventilated, clean room, and kept away from pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Fifth, prevent rubber from aging. The belts of farm machinery and implements should be removed and hung on a wall or placed in a dry, ventilated place.
Sixth, prevent plastic deformation of springs. When a walking tractor is parked in a shed, the clutch handle should be placed in the engaged position; otherwise the clutch spring will lose its elasticity due to long-term compression. In addition, the engine's intake and exhaust valves should also be placed in the closed state.
Seventh, prevent the water tank from freezing and cracking. After a tractor has finished working and is out of use or parked for a long time, the cooling water should be drained completely to prevent the water tank from freezing and cracking at extremely low temperatures.
