Fall is upon us and now is great time to review the maintenance needs of all of the Kubota equipment. Preparing your machinery for weather transitions is extremely important to ensuring the longevity of your units. Just as the seasons change, so do the needs for your property, and the equipment you use to maintain it. How you prepare and use your machinery for weather transitions is extremely important to ensuring the longevity of your units.
As an owner and operator of Kubota equipment, it falls upon you to be well-prepared for the evolving equipment needs as the seasons change throughout the year.
Regular Maintenance Checks
Regardless of the temperature, seasonal maintenance is essential, including the replacement of fluids and filters. Given the variations in climate, it's crucial to consult your owner's manual to determine the appropriate fluids for your specific model and local conditions. Particularly during the winter months, consistent inspections are even more critical. Dedicate a few extra minutes each day to perform daily cleaning and inspections. This practice is vital for identifying minor issues that could escalate if left unaddressed. Regularly examine fluid hoses for cracks, as the extreme cold can lead to cracking. Other areas requiring inspection include oil and grease lubrication, coolant levels, fuel levels, battery performance, and the condition of the undercarriage.
Maintain Cleanliness
Regularly clean the undercarriage to prevent excess grass and dirt buildup to maximize the performance of your implements and attachments.
Proper Storage
Storing the equipment inside a shed or building will alleviate the strain of fall and winter on the machinery. When starting it up, allow the machine to warm up properly, as performance is enhanced when the engine and machine have time to reach temperatures above 40 degrees.
Assess Attachments
Making sure all your implements and attachments are in working order is important during the fall and winter seasons. As part of your maintenance regime, bring in your implements and attachments in with your units for service to make sure they are in top working order.
