5 good reasons to get a pre-season machine check
20th January 2023
With seed and fertiliser prices on the rise, the last thing any of us wants is unexpected costs. So, it pays to get your Valtra checked over NOW to ensure it is in peak condition when you need it most.
Your machine worked as hard as you did last season. We know you have a Valtra because you want a machine you can push to its limits but, like most things, looking after it is the key to keeping it working well for you.
A pre-season check is exactly what is needed to tackle this year’s challenges with confidence. Get your machine checked and get on with what you are good at.
Here are 5 reasons why a pre-season check is the right choice for you:
1. You will have more control over costs
Be the boss of your budget and plan for regular checks and machine maintenance. It proves less costly than dealing with breakdown and emergency repairs. A bit of planning can reduce the stress of unexpected costs, particularly useful in light of the current economic climate.
2. It will keep you and others safe
Look, we all understand the risks of working with heavy machinery on the farm but how often are safety checks overlooked because we are just too busy or have become too complacent? Take this opportunity to take safety seriously by including machine safety checks in your pre-season preparation. It is a sensible way to reduce risk, not just for you but for everyone on the farm. Simple actions reduce accidents, like checking your ladders are still fit for purpose or ensuring all-round visibility by keeping wipers and mirrors in good condition. Why not go a step further and read these short, practical guides to farming safely.
3. Take advantage of the quieter pre-season
This is the best time of year for busy Valtra technicians to give your machine a thorough once over. When they are not dealing with peak season emergencies they are ready and prepared to give your machine the attention it deserves.
4. Avoid nasty peak season surprises
It’s the farming nightmare - grinding to a halt during peak season. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Regular pre-season checks mean you will catch issues before they become problems. Keep it in peak condition and your Valtra is never going to let you down.
