How To Maintain Your Baler

The crops grown and harvested on farms are the foundation of every economy worldwide, and many agricultural operations rely on balers to maintain productivity. These machines ensure maximum yield and make it easy to store and transport your crops, so it’s important to keep them in good shape. Use the following maintenance tips to maximize 你的打包机 performance and extend its lifespan!

仔细的检查

It’s important to give your baler regular, thorough once-overs. Look over the machine inside and out to see if you find any excessive wear-and-tear, 损害, 生锈, 或者污垢堆积. If nothing jumps out at you, start testing the various mechanisms and functions to make sure everything is functioning properly. 

We recommend you set up a regular inspection schedule and note when each inspection takes place in a notebook or note app to help you keep track. Make a list of things to inspect monthly, quarterly, and yearly. Hydraulic systems will need special attention, 例如, since the heat and pressure they operate under makes them prone to maintenance issues.

Your owner’s manual will give you specific schedules and instructions, 但一般来说, other systems and preventative measures you should handle on a regular basis are:

• Changing/refilling gearbox fluids as recommended
• Tightening lug bolts as needed
• Inspecting chains and belts for wear, tension, and cracks
• Greasing all moving parts as often as recommended
• Changing all filters regularly, especially those in the hydraulic system
• Checking the auto-lube system
• Looking for leaks in tanks and hoses

清洁

One of the best preventative maintenance precautions you can take is to keep your baler clean. It doesn’t have to be spotless, but using the baler tends to lead to mud, 污垢, and plant debris buildup that can wear the machine down and reduce its lifespan. Make a point of hosing down your baler as often as necessary—probably after each use—to get rid of any dirt before it starts to wreak havoc.

Have Spare 部分 On Hand

Your baler as a whole might have a solid lifespan, but not all of its components will last that long. Keep spares of all the important parts on hand when the machine is in use in case you need to fix any problems right away. Rarer parts should probably be ordered in advance so you have a backup, but easier replacements to stock up on include:

• 软管
• 火花塞
• 罐头
• Smaller parts like nuts and bolts
