Taking Care of the Combine Harvester in Spring

 

TAKING CARE OF THE COMBINE HARVESTER IN SPRING

  

In spring, before starting the harvest season – or even earlier during winter – it is essential to check and often replace certain spare parts and wear components on the combine harvester to ensure reliability, efficiency and reduce machine downtime. These are crucial aspects in preparation for the harvest. Manually check every critical component and replace worn or defective parts in time. Preventive maintenance extends both the life of the combine harvester and the quality of the harvest. For spare parts available in stock, we at Agri Parts guarantee order processing within one working day!

THE MAIN WEAR COMPONENTS TO CHECK

Complete blades and knife sections of the cutter bar, as they cut the plant at the base and wear out quickly. Check the knife guards; if they are bent or broken, replace them to ensure a uniform cut.

Rotor teeth and other wear elements: in rotor models, the teeth/scrapers wear out and affect crop feeding. Replace worn or damaged ones.

Drive and feeding belts and chains tend to stretch or crack over time. Check belt tensioners and rollers, and replace them if necessary before they break.

Bearings on the various shafts must rotate freely. Damaged seals allow dust to enter and deteriorate the bearings. Beaters, threshing rotors or drums must be intact and balanced, as smooth or damaged surfaces reduce threshing efficiency.

Sieves and straw walkers are essential elements for separating the crop from the straw. Check for clogged holes, deformations or breakages.

Air, oil, fuel and hydraulic filters are essential after months of inactivity. Dirty filters reduce power and increase wear.

At Agri Parts we are proud to offer a complete range of essential components to keep your combine harvester in excellent condition and maximize its efficiency during every harvest season. Discover our wide selection of high-quality spare parts perfectly interchangeable for combine harvesters from the most prestigious brands.
When carrying out a thorough cleaning of all easily accessible elements, remember to block the rotating parts you are working on. Cleaning with compressed air or a pressure washer helps keep the machine clean, remove dirt and eliminate foreign elements that may interfere with the use of the machine, compromise its performance or affect extraordinary maintenance and necessary checks.
Always follow the instructions provided in your machine manual and use common sense during every maintenance operation.
