Don?t cut corners on machine maintenance this spring

As this planting season has given us a jumpstart and then a slowdown, the last thing we want to do is to increase that slowdown with shoddy maintenance on our equipment. Sometimes we can look at our equipment and realize that while we probably should have addressed something during the winter, we can probably get by with it until after planting.

While that may work for a few things, CHS is reminding you not to cut corners or put off proper machine lubrication.

Kyle Parker is a District Manager for CHS Lubricants. He says if farmers don?t want to find themselves stuck in the field, they should adopt a more proactive approach. That begins with having the right lubricants for the right pieces of machinery.

Parker says that you can?t cut corners on seasonal or year-round machinery lubricants.

Just like any other industry, lubricants are also affected by the supply chain. Parker talks about their perspective at CHS.
