Join us in this informative tractor maintenance video where Sam, a seasoned service manager with over two decades of experience, shares his experiences on preventing moderate to major breakdowns by prioritizing regular greasing. In this episode, we focus on Sam's pastor's Kubota undergoing a Spring service, highlighting the importance of routine maintenance before the busy usage season.  Here are the five:

1) Front End Loader Breakdowns: Explore the first failure related to the front end loader, where greasable bearings and pivot points bear significant weight, heat, and potential failure if not adequately lubricated. Save yourself from costly repairs by incorporating simple, routine greasing.

2) Steering Component Failures: Discover the second failure involving tractor steering components, especially an issue in older tractors. From greasable bearings in the idler arm assembly to power steering components and the front axle, Sam emphasizes the critical need for regular greasing to avoid expensive repairs and maintain optimal tractor performance.

3) Pedal Maintenance: Delve into the importance of greasing clutch, hydrostat, and brake pedals, as neglecting lubrication can lead to operational failures. Sam explains how regular lubrication ensures smoother operation and prevents issues such as accelerated wear, dangerous situations, and clutch malfunctions.

4) PTO Shaft Lubrication: Learn about the fourth area that demands attention—the PTO shaft on your cutter. Discover the necessity of frequent lubrication for u-joints, power take off releases, and inner and outer PTO tubes to prevent common issues and ensure a long-lasting, efficient performance.

5) Tailwheel Lubrication on Cutters: Explore the fifth and final area, focusing on the cutter's tailwheel (or tailwheels). Sam sheds light on the metal-to-metal contact and potential failure without regular grease, emphasizing the importance of preventing expensive fixes through routine lubrication.  The wheels also have bearings and grease zerks that enable them to turn freely, don't forget them!

As we approach the peak usage season for tractors, now is the perfect time to prioritize routine maintenance. Don't let preventable breakdowns disrupt your operations—watch the video, follow Sam's expert advice, and keep your tractor running smoothly. Save time and money with proactive greasing! #TractorMaintenance #GreasingTips #PreventBreakdowns
