Improve Your Used Tractor’s Performance

Buying a used tractor is a great way to get an expensive piece of machinery at an incredibly affordable price. However, used tractors will need quite a bit of care and upkeep to keep them performing at their best. For tips on how to improve your used tractor’s performance and ensure it continues to run smoothly for years to come, check out our article below.

Purchase Quality Parts & Products

If you’re looking to improve the performance of your used tractor you’ll want to invest in quality parts and products for your model. It’s well known that subpar products—such as lower-quality engine oil or after-market parts—don’t last nearly as long as higher-quality alternatives, and can reduce the efficiency of your machinery in the process. To improve your output and ensure your used tractor lasts as long as possible, we recommend upgrading to higher-quality components.

Keep a Maintenance Schedule

It goes without saying that you’ll need to stay on top of your used tractor’s maintenance and care if you want it to keep running. However, keeping track of your model’s many services and care tasks can be harder than it sounds. Different components will need to be cared for at different times, with some requiring care after a certain number of service hours while others will be based on linear time. To ensure you don’t lose track of your used tractor’s upkeep, be sure to keep a calendar listing when the last service was completed, and when it will need to be performed again.

Lube Moving Parts

Older tractors tend to seize up after a certain amount of time, leaving you in a tough spot. Thankfully, you can easily avoid this—and improve the performance of your machinery—by lubing the moving parts of your equipment regularly. Deep-cleaning your tractor every 6 months or so can also decrease the build-up of dust and debris and keep your tractor running smoothly.
