It is important to check tire pressure, fuels, fluids, and hoses before storing the equipment during winter. This inspection should be done periodically throughout the season.
Before parking your tractor, deep clean it first. Remove dirt or debris lodged, dry it completely, and prevent rust formation. This will also keep pests away, especially from your wiring.
To prevent fuel from freezing in temperatures below 32°F, drain the tank and use winter-grade fuel. You can also add a fuel conditioner or stabilizer to keep non-winter-grade fuel fresh.
To get the best performance, it's important to use the appropriate fuel. Additionally, using fuel additives can less the fuel cloud point and prevent gelling, ensuring optimal performance.
Clear snow, ice, and debris off the tractor to avoid damage and maintain good airflow. This helps keep the tractor in good shape and working well.
Park the tractor in a warm garage or use a heater to lessen the cold's impact on the engine. The aim is to shield the tractor from weather by storing it in a barn or shed.
