Tips for Improving Your Tractor’s Performance

Nov. 30 2022 Maintenance By Flieg's Equipment

Tractors are a big investment and a vital piece of equipment for many operations. To get the absolute best out of your machinery, take a look at our tips below on how to improve performance. If you’re in need of any extra parts, or even a new tractor, feel free to visit us at either of our locations in Ste. Genevieve and Leadington, Missouri! 

Maintenance 

If taken care of properly, tractors can function for over 40 years. If you want to keep your tractor performing in optimal condition you’ll need to perform regular maintenance on your machine. While most owners are pretty good about keeping up with oil changes and replacing tires, many forget to complete some of their machinery’s more complicated tasks. For example, winterizing or storing their tractor before the season changes, flushing fuel injectors and other fluids, and even cleaning and lubricating attached implements. 

Products

As you’re performing some of the maintenance tasks above, we encourage you to consider the products you’re putting into your machinery. While some of the lower-priced goods may be tempting, if you can afford something of higher quality we encourage you to use it instead. Whether it’s engine oil, transmission fluid, or replacement parts, you’ll benefit from using a high-quality product that will not only last longer but allow your machine to perform at its best. 

Implements

Tractors are multi-use machines and can perform a number of different tasks. Some can even complete multiple jobs at once! However, to take advantage of this benefit, you’ll need to purchase attachable implements for your tractor. While these tools can be a bit pricey, they allow your machine to complete a number of helpful tasks and increase efficiency and performance.
