After the harvest, experts advise checking implements before heading out into the fields. A careful inspection of your plough or other tillage implement can prevent downtime and save valuable time and money. It is advisable to stock up on essential wearing parts and choose only original manufacturer's parts, as they last up to 36% longer.

With intensive use of tillage and sowing equipment, wear and tear also occurs on the wear parts. Some farmers only replace parts when machinery breaks down, but it's worth checking your machinery and renewing worn parts before the season starts. The lifetime of the parts depends on the correct adjustment of the implement, the soil structure and the number of hectares worked. Equally important is the reliability of the manufacturer and the quality of the parts. Price is not the only important aspect – it is important to ensure that the implement performs efficiently and to a high standard.

Tool tips for getting your plough ready for action

Ernestas Obrikas, spare parts specialist at „Dotnuva Baltic, advises farmers to spare no time to check their ploughs, cultivators and other implements before the start of the season and to order the right parts in time. „We are seeing more and more attention being paid to pre-season inspections and repair planning on farms. Timely inspection of implements minimises downtime in the field. We advise you to stock up on the essential parts you need and point out that only genuine parts help maintain Kverneland's quality levels. Compared to analogues, Kverneland original wear parts last up to 36% longer, says the specialist.
