Seasonal maintenance is a scheduled set of operations carried out to prepare machinery for operation or long-term storage. Regular servicing is critically important for all types of equipment, especially agricultural machinery that operates in field conditions and is exposed to aggressive chemical substances, ProAgro Group reports.

First of all, all machines without exception should be thoroughly cleaned. Only in this way is it possible to properly assess the condition of working components, the frame structure, and other equally important parts and units of the machine. Particular attention should be paid to cleaning hoppers, metering devices, and distribution coils from seed and fertilizer residues. These areas are prone to intensive metal corrosion in contact zones and may also attract rodents, which can cause damage, especially to electrical equipment. Seeds and fertilizers left in hoses can also germinate and cause blockages.

Väderstad offers a wide range of machinery for soil cultivation and sowing of cereals, oilseeds, and industrial crops. As a manufacturer of premium-quality equipment known for high reliability and advanced technology, the company places special emphasis on proper maintenance. Only machines that are fully functional and properly prepared for the season can deliver excellent field performance.

Regardless of the type of machinery, once the season is over, special attention should be given to working parts and components that operate in aggressive environments. These include discs, chisels, moldboards, coulters, seed metering wheels, scrapers, rubber wheels, and seed tubes. These elements are subject to the most intensive wear during the season. Replacing them is relatively simple and does not require significant time or labor resources. However, maintenance planning should be done in advance, and now—after a long and demanding season—is the right time to do so.

Do not postpone maintenance, as when urgent needs arise, the required spare parts may simply not be available in sufficient quantities at warehouses.

You can order and select the necessary spare parts, as well as obtain comprehensive information on care, adjustment, and maintenance of the equipment, by contacting company representatives and dealers in your region or by using the specialized operation manuals available on the company’s website.
