Pre-season Repairs

Don’t get slowed down or take a cut to your final crop yield because of worn parts. Catch problems before they occur by checking for signs of wear and damage on your combine and headers and replacing any worn or broken parts. Conduct a visual inspection by looking for broken or damaged parts and check for any warnings from in-cab monitors. Pay special attention to:

• -Belts
• -Concaves and rasp bars
• -Knives and cutting parts

Finally, run your combine engine for 30 minutes. Make note of any areas or parts that overheat or emit a smell.
