๐พ Itโs Augustโฆ one of the busiest months in British farming.
For many farms, harvest is in full swing. Combines, tractors, trailers, balers and telehandlers are clocking up long hours, often working from early morning until late into the evening.
With machinery under constant pressure, itโs also one of the times of year when wear and tear becomes more noticeable.
Things to look out for include:
๐ง Hydraulic hose leaks
โ๏ธ Worn bearings and belts
๐พ Blockages from dust, straw and crop debris
๐ Tyre damage from heavy field work
๐ฉ Loose or worn components caused by continuous use
๐ฅ Overheating due to clogged radiators and cooling systems
