Hay Season Fire Prevention Tip
It doesn’t take much.
A hot bearing, a buildup of dry hay, or a hydraulic leak can turn a productive day in the field into a costly equipment fire.
Before heading out, take a few minutes to:
•Check bearings for excessive heat or noise
•Clean hay and debris from around moving parts
•Inspect belts and chains
•Look for hydraulic leaks
A few minutes of maintenance can save thousands of dollars in repairs and keep your season on track.
