RegisterThere are plenty of factors out of our control as we dig into harvest season. Don’t let a failure to prepare be one of them. As farmers, you know the work never stops, which means your equipment shouldn’t either. Gear up and get ready with maintenance options that fit your schedule and equipment needs.
GET PRECISE WITH UPGRADES - Early summer
Early summer is the perfect time to make upgrades to prepare for the season ahead, from installing new precision technology to upgrading your combine’s functionality. Take advantage
of innovative precision systems offered by your local RME Dealer, like Raven displays and auto-guidance to maximize yield and efficiency with accurate, even passes through the field.
Your local RME Dealer can also perform simple upgrades to your combine that make a significant difference to performance, like Mud Hog rear-wheel assist axle kits that take you from 2WD
to 4WD to handle tough terrain. Dealer-installed harvest kits can also provide an all-in-one solution to replace common wear parts or unlock new capabilities, like our rotor cage kits and cutterbar rebuild kits. Finally, don’t forget lighting and camera upgrades that provide round-the-clock safety for your operation. These upgrades can enhance harvest quality, optimize yield potential and improve overall performance. By investing in advanced technology and components, you set the foundation for a successful harvest season.
For personalized guidance, early summer is a great time to stop by a RME harvest clinic. These clinics provide valuable opportunities to learn more about your combines, discuss strategies and make necessary adjustments. You can interact with local branches, RME representatives and fellow producers, exchanging insights and gaining knowledge that can significantly impact your harvest’s success.
PRE-SEASON PREPARATIONS – Mid-to-late summer
As mid-to-late summer approaches, it’s time to focus on specific preparations to ensure your combine is operating at its best. Calibrate your equipment’s precision technology before heading out to the field to make sure your auto-steer, GPS, yield monitors and more are in perfect alignment. Stay sharp with new cutting parts, and replace any worn guards, pins or other wear parts. Replace worn or damaged parts with genuine CNH components to maintain optimal performance and prevent downtime during harvest. Additionally, ensure regular maintenance is performed, including changing filters, lubricating critical components and changing hydraulic fluids, engine oil and coolant with genuine lubricants. Ensure peak performance and protection with the only lubricants and filters engineered for Case IH and New Holland equipment. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of costly and time-consuming maintenance in-season and maximizes efficiency.
DEALER KNOWLEDGE – Throughout the year, up to harvest
When it comes to preparing your combine for a successful harvest, the expertise of your RME dealer becomes an invaluable resource. These experts offer year-round guidance on maintenance and services as well as access to genuine parts that keep your equipment operating at its peak.
Remember, a well-prepared combine is the key to a successful harvest. Invest in the right tools, stay informed and collaborate with Case IH and New Holland to make the most of your equipment. Get ready to reap the rewards of your hard work and dedication this harvest season. To learn more, talk with your local RME Dealer.
