How To Store Tractors in Winter

Dec 03, 2024

In winter, the weather is cold, and many tractors are temporarily unused and need to be stored for a long time. Many operators simply park their tractors outdoors. In fact, idle storage also requires reasonable storage and maintenance, otherwise the tractor will be damaged faster than during operation. So, how should winter tractors be stored?

 

01 Comprehensive maintenance and cleaning: After use, the tractor should be fully maintained once to remove stains from the machinery and ensure that the body is clean and tidy;


02 Install cooling water for tractor cooling systems (excluding those with antifreeze), the cooling water should be drained to prevent the machine from freezing and cracking;


03 To prevent rusting, apply butter or old engine oil to the moving parts and links of the tractor to prevent rusting of the moving parts; Raise the body to reduce pressure on the tires;


04 When storing tractor batteries for a long time, the battery should be removed, its surface wiped clean and fully charged, placed in a clean and warm room, and charged every month thereafter;


05 Tractors that have been well maintained and stored in the garage should be placed in the warehouse. If there is no warehouse, the tractor should be covered with a rain cloth (or three colored cloth) to prevent damage to the tractor caused by sun exposure, wind, rain, snow, and freezing.
