Preparation will pay yield return ,says Case IH
While it is generally the season, the right varieties and the timings, it is generally about ensuring that you can get equipment the paddock to start sowing, according to Case IH national aftersales manager, Patrick McVeigh.
The part of farm planning and safety reviews and cost management, the machinery preparation have a tangible value and running for the sowing season by getting it serviced early and buying the genuine parts.
He said, the repair of breakdown seems cheaper since you only have to pay for the one- time repair and its important parts.
He said, Since the breakdown are not planned, they shut down the work for an undetermined period. So the breakdown costs more than the material and labor cost
He said, “This can be acted on every step of sowing.”
“There’s nothing new that the actual cost of machinery breakdown can be several times of the routine maintenance and the servicing costs.”
Not only the down time costs much to farm business, machinery can also do the same if it begins to wear without detection, the issue can be with seeder boots, points and metering systems.
Being the last bit that makes the ground engaged, seeder boots and points are very important
The seed beds and germination are sensitive to the worn points, that could be very costly for the poor seed placement and then, of course germination, he said.
The type of soil determines when they need a change, your dealer will cover all these in a service.”
Good germination also depends upon the accurate metering.
In seeder metering system, fertilizers and additives can be very corrosive,it also required to be checked properly and serviced with continuity.
The rollers need to be in good order, with no leaks in hoses and so on.
These areas are forgettable but if not treated well could lead to a worse season that people won’t forget.
It would be wise to use the right engine oil with the tractors that is not more than 10 years old which require a Cl-4 15W/40 extra high performance diesel engine oil.
