Farm Equipment Inspection & Maintenance Software

A worn nozzle does not break down, it just applies the wrong rate all day while the machine keeps moving. That is what makes self-propelled sprayer maintenance different from truck or loader work: the failure shows up weeks later as a striped fiel

You walk the field three weeks after seeding and see it: stripes. Pale gaps where the stand never came up, running the full length of the pass, and every one of those stripes traces back to a blocked run, a worn opener or a metering roll that was

Harvest is three weeks out, the grain truck needs a brake chamber, and someone in the shop asks the question that decides your whole compliance picture: does this truck even need a DOT number? Farm truck FMCSA rules are full of real exemptions — b

It is 6:40 on a Tuesday evening in late October. Your combine is coming home on a two-lane highway, traffic is doing 55 behind it, and the orange triangle on the back is the same one that went on six seasons ago - faded to a pale peach, half-cover

It is always the same pattern. The mower conditioner runs fine through the first field of the season, then on day three a cutterbar bearing lets go at full speed and the whole bar is down for two days while hay sits uncut and the weather window cl

Your combine sits in the shed for ten months, then you ask it to run eighteen-hour days through the only weather window that matters. A proper combine pre harvest inspection is the difference between cutting 400 acres a day and standing in a half-

It's 6:40 on a Tuesday morning, the wind is finally under 10 km/h, and your sprayer operator is asking a question you can't answer: "Where did we put the calibration sheet from March?" Pesticide applicator records are the most audited paperwork in

It's 6:40 in the morning, the planter is hooked up, and the tractor that ran fine yesterday won't build hydraulic pressure. Three hours later you find the cause: a suction hose that had been weeping for a week, pulling air into the system until th

Every bushel that never makes it into the tank was lost at the front of the machine, not the back. A combine header that is out of time, out of clearance or missing a knife section can leave 3 to 5 bushels per acre on the ground before the operato

The planter that rolled out of the shed in February looking fine is the same one that leaves skips and doubles across 2,000 acres in April - and by the time emergence shows the problem, the yield ceiling is already set. A solid planter maintenance

The pre-start inspection is the cheapest five minutes you will ever spend on a tractor, combine, or sprayer — and it is always the first thing cut when the weather window is closing and everyone is behind. A proper farm pre-start inspection checks

A PTO shaft spinning at 540 rpm wraps clothing or a limb in under a second, and the shield that should prevent that entanglement is usually the same one someone unbolted last season for easier access to a grease fitting and never put back. OSHA 19

Every farm has had the conversation: a seasonal hand is shown the controls of a tractor for ten minutes, told to be careful, and sent out to disk a field. The training probably happened, and it was probably good enough — but six months later, when

The chemical shed door sticks, the light is dim, and you are looking for the safety data sheet on a generic-looking white drum while a sprayer sits idle outside. Hazard communication on farms is one of the few general industry standards that reach

Combines run sixteen to eighteen hour days during harvest, which means a calendar-only preventive maintenance schedule is useless by the second week of October. Engine hour PM for farm equipment has to be triggered by actual usage, because a tract

Grain bin entry safety is the line between a routine five-minute job and a fatality, because flowing grain can bury a person in under five seconds and most victims are experienced hands who climbed in to break up a bridge because it felt faster th
