Maintaining Your Tractor

Your tractor is an important part of your operation and daily chores. Without one, your workday would look a lot different! With that in mind, you’ll realize how important it is to keep your tractor well-maintained. Our team at Bobcat® of Cape Cod is here to be a resource for all your equipment needs. 

Engine Care

Changing your tractor's oil and filter is one of the most important maintenance tasks for extending its life and maintaining engine performance. Without a clean and cared-for engine, you might encounter performance issues. 

Regular engine tune-ups will also include replacing spark plugs, air filters, carburetors, and other key components as needed.

Tire Care

The tire pressure should be checked monthly to make sure it is at the manufacturer's recommended level. Also, check for any signs of wear or damage that could lead to a blowout on the road.

Debris Removal 

Make sure to remove any dirt, grass clippings, stones, or other debris that can accumulate beneath your tractor over time. This will help keep everything running smoothly and prevent unnecessary wear and tear on parts like gears and axles. You should also remove debris from the radiator and under the hood. Regular cleaning can assist with this step!

Belt and Hose Care

Check hoses for signs of wear or cracks, and make sure the belts are in good condition. Replace any worn or damaged parts as needed to prevent costly repairs down the road. 

Moving Parts

Many tractor components require regular lubrication with light grease or oil to keep them running smoothly and reduce friction. Make sure to regularly apply grease to these parts according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
