Easy Maintenance Tips for Your Disc Harrow-2023

Proper maintenance and care of farming equipment ensure maximum productivity and minimize downtime and farming incidents. But for maximum safety and productivity a keen understanding of each piece of equipment, plus proper and timely maintenance, are of utmost importance. So, if you own a disc harrow, here are a few essential things to remember.

The Maintenance Tips Are:-

Check the disc harrows on a regular basis. If you are doing maintenance work on your disc harrow for the first time, be sure to follow the owner’s manual first.

Make sure, the work area should be clean and dry and the electrical outlets in the service area are working properly. The work area should also have ample lighting.

The service area should also have ventilation and do not operate the equipment in a closed structure. And always keep a first aid kit nearby for unexpected accidents.

Before beginning the maintenance task, shut off the engine and wait until all moving parts have stopped.

Start by inspecting the discs, and looking for signs of cracks and breakage. Make sure that the cutting edges are still sharp because the performance of the disc harrow will suffer.

During the replacement of parts like the disc harrow bearing assembly, use parts that conform to the need of the implement recommended by the manufacturer. A trusted farm implement company can help you find the parts that you need for your harrow.

After all maintenance tasks, tighten up the nuts, bolts, and screws and put the safety guards back into their place. Return all the tools and implement which are used to their proper storage areas.

Make a habit of cleaning your disc harrow after each use and remove all the dirt and debris that have clung to the equipment completely.

Before storage, give your disc harrow a look for signs of wear or damage and make the necessary maintenance and repairs.

If you want to store your disc harrow for an extended period of time, you should clean it with a low-pressure water spray.

If the paint is missing in any part, sand down those areas and apply a fresh coat of paint to keep rust away.

During the storage of the equipment in an area with minimal human activity, you can use a tarpaulin to protect your disc harrow. And for the blades, it is best kept on a resting board away from the soil.
