We have seen the first combines entering fields in Iowa for some early planted soybeans. That means it won’t be long before we start harvesting in earnest. There is still time to prepare your combine for the harvest season. The last thing you want is to break down in the middle of a short harvest window.
The folks at Ziegler are reminding farmers about things you may not always think about or may forget to do when you are in a hurry. Of course, every combine prep begins with a visual inspection. It’s a chance to find some things that either stick out or look out of place. Jerrad Bourne of Ziegler Ag Equipment tells us more.
Technology is a huge part of our equipment today. This is especially true in tractors and combines. With all the data screens and platforms, it is a good idea to make sure all software is up to date for the fall.
Make sure that you are going over all the components with a fine-tooth comb. Bourne talks about a few places he feels get overlooked.
Of course, no matter your make of combine, talk with your local dealer. They may be able to assist you in any last-minute preparations you need to make, or help you troubleshoot anything you find that isn’t up to standards. Ziegler offers 24/7 support for their equipment.
