As temperatures prepare to plunge, it\u2019s a good time to get ahead on winterizing machinery and equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A little effort now can pay dividends come the spring \u2013 not just by making sure your machinery is primed and ready for action when planting season starts, but by helping you avoid unnecessary downtime and costs.&nbsp; Let\u2019s take a look at some priority tasks you should be completing before the winter freeze arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Clean and store farm machinery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dried on mud, crop residues and other debris accumulated during harvest, fall tillage and other farming operations should now be cleaned off of machines that won\u2019t be used until the spring.&nbsp; You might wonder what\u2019s the harm in leaving dry residue alone \u2013 but mud and chaff can trap moisture on surfaces that speeds up corrosion, and also prevents you from properly inspecting your equipment to ensure it\u2019s in good condition.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good wash down in the late fall might seem like a vanity project but it\u2019s actually just good farm sense, helping you nip rust issues in the bud and extending the lifespan of your equipment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspect engine compartments, belts and pulleys to make sure they\u2019re clear of any plant residue that could catch fire when the machine is started up again in spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once cleaned, ideally planters, harrows, chisel plows and other equipment that isn\u2019t needed over winter should be stored in a weatherproof and rodent-proof barn to minimize the risk of damage occurring during idle periods.&nbsp; If space is an issue, consider using custom tarp to offer some protection from the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/winter-farm-machinery-preparation-tractor-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Tractor ready for winterizing on a barren corn field\" class=\"wp-image-925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/winter-farm-machinery-preparation-tractor-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/winter-farm-machinery-preparation-tractor-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/winter-farm-machinery-preparation-tractor-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/winter-farm-machinery-preparation-tractor-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/winter-farm-machinery-preparation-tractor-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/winter-farm-machinery-preparation-tractor.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Look out for lubrication<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold temperatures increase the viscosity of lubricants as well as causing metals to shrink or constrict.&nbsp; As a result, moving parts that are not adequately lubricated before winter sets in can seize up completely in cold weather, leading to unnecessary downtime and sometimes even expensive parts replacements to get them moving again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prevent this from happening by carrying out a lubrication check on all your farm equipment in the late fall \u2013 change to a lower viscosity engine oil if you live in a particularly cold region, apply grease where required, and replace sealed components like bearing hubs if you suspect they\u2019ve reached the end of their useful life.&nbsp; This will ensure your machinery is ready to roll when the temperature starts to rise again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"975\" src=\"https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/precision-engineered-flange-component-machinery-1024x975.jpg\" alt=\"Precision-engineered flange component with threaded center and bolt holes for machinery assembly\" class=\"wp-image-926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/precision-engineered-flange-component-machinery-1024x975.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/precision-engineered-flange-component-machinery-600x572.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/precision-engineered-flange-component-machinery-64x61.jpg 64w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/precision-engineered-flange-component-machinery-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/precision-engineered-flange-component-machinery-768x732.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/precision-engineered-flange-component-machinery.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coolant, fuel and other fluid checks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Winterizing fluids is important for machinery that will be stored in the colder months but also for machines you\u2019ll continue to use in winter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the antifreeze levels in the cooling system and also test the freeze point of the fluids to ensure the correct water to antifreeze ratio \u2013 vital to stop engines from freezing up in cold weather but also for making sure that water doesn\u2019t corrode the engine interior when the machine is sitting idle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/engine-coolant-reservoir-cap-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Bright yellow coolant reservoir cap prominently marked on a farm machinery engine\" class=\"wp-image-927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/engine-coolant-reservoir-cap-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/engine-coolant-reservoir-cap-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/engine-coolant-reservoir-cap-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/engine-coolant-reservoir-cap-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/engine-coolant-reservoir-cap-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wearpartsllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/engine-coolant-reservoir-cap.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Engine powered equipment that won\u2019t be used in winter should be stored with a full fuel tank \u2013 this stops condensation from forming during cold spells, which can contaminate the fuel with water when there\u2019s a thaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydraulic fluids, transmission and engine oil should all be changed to a product with appropriate cold weather viscosity \u2013 run the machine for a short period after any fluid change to ensure the new fluid is circulated into the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Winter battery care<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Idle batteries will discharge at a rate of 1% per day \u2013 and even faster in freezing weather \u2013 due to parasitic drain.&nbsp;
