What Are The Precautions For Using Agricultural Machinery During The Rainy Season?

Agricultural machinery drivers must be vigilant when driving on rainy days. Before going out, do a good job of inspection, including checking the sealing condition of the engine hood and the technical condition of the wipers and brakes. If any faults are found, they should be promptly eliminated.

1.Driving in the rain
The first thing to pay attention to is the degree of tire wear
When driving in the rain, the first thing to pay attention to is the degree of tire wear. When encountering rainy weather, the drainage capacity of tires with excessive wear and tear will deteriorate, and tractors are prone to skidding, which can pose a danger in emergency situations. So remind farm machinery operators to remember to check if the tires are worn out and have exceeded the standard before driving on rainy days.

2.Do not exceed the speed limit or overload when driving a tractor on rainy days
During the rainy season, the road is wet and slippery, making it difficult to brake
Easy to cause traffic accidents
When braking, try to slow down about 100 meters in advance and apply the brakes lightly to allow sufficient emergency preparation time for oncoming vehicles and avoid collisions or rear end collisions caused by excessive braking.

3.Through waterlogged road surfaces
The water depth should be measured first
If the accumulated water exceeds the height of the exhaust pipe, a detour should be taken
When passing through roads with accumulated water or muddy mountain roads, village road depressions, or other areas where large water overflows, the first thing to do is to stop and check the depth of the accumulated water. If the water depth exceeds the exhaust pipe, it can easily cause the tractor to stall; Water depth exceeds the bumper, making it easy for water to enter. Do not cross ditches or puddles at high speed, as this can cause splashing and increase the actual water depth, which can easily lead to water ingress into the diesel engine.

4.In case of rainstorm, the vision will be reduced
Turn on the car lights in a timely manner and pay attention to pedestrians
Due to pedestrians holding umbrellas and cyclists wearing rain jackets in the rain, their vision, hearing, and reactions are limited. Sometimes, they also make sharp turns while crossing the road, often panicking and slipping when the tractor approaches, catching the operator off guard. When encountering such a situation, the operator should slow down and patiently avoid it. If necessary, they can choose a safe place to park and must not rush to compete with villagers and children.
