Preventative maintenance is an important part of owning a tractor. If you want that machine to run as strong as the day you bought it for as long as possible, you have to be dedicated to maintenance every day and at every service milestone.

Things tend to break down just when you need them most. You might be gearing up for planting or getting ready to harvest when you find an issue that requires repair of your tractor. Whether you catch it during routine maintenance or out in the field, you need a fix and you need it fast.

Replacement Parts for Routine Tractor Repair

There’s a long list of issues that can sideline your tractor. If you’re ready with the right parts, you can make the necessary repairs or replacements to get back to farming with little delay. Stock up on the MTZ tractor parts listed in your operator’s manual so you have backup in case something goes wrong.

Clean coolant helps avoid internal damage, rust, or clogs in the engine, which helps prevent much bigger engine troubles. Many new tractors, including parts like T25 tractor parts, have combined systems where hydraulic or transmission fluid is shared between the machine and an attachment. To keep both your tractor and your implements running at full power, you need full tanks of clean fluid.

Light Bulbs

It might seem like a minor inconvenience, but burnt bulbs should always be replaced immediately. While you can ignore a slightly dimmer room in your home for weeks, tractor light bulbs are there for safety — yours and those around you.

Take stock of the specific light bulbs you need for your headlamps, taillights, and warning lights. Keep them in your shed, garage, or even in the cab of larger utility tractors, so that you can quickly swap out a burnt bulb and keep the lights on.

 Replacement Belts

Your tractor has several different belts that keep your engine running and other components moving. Over time, alternator belts, fan belts, and air compressor belts can loosen, crack, or split. The belts for your specific tractor model may not always be in inventory at your local dealer or tractor supply store. Plan ahead for replacement belts, especially as your tractor approaches the 200-hour mark, to keep a quick and easy switch from causing prolonged downtime.
