When should I get my tractor serviced

It is very important for a farmer or a professional tractor operator to know when and how to service their tractor.

Because timely servicing of the tractor is very important; it keeps the engine healthy and working efficiently.

When it comes to servicing, the most important parameter is the type of engine oil being used. The company specifies what type of engine oil to use and also provides guidelines on when to change it. According to the company, the engine oil should be changed every 2:30 to 300 hours of operation.

Now, the most important thing is that farmers need to know that If you are getting your tractor serviced at an external service center. Then how to get their tractors serviced professionally, and what kind of tools and engine oils and other service materials they should use. This is extremely important.

What things should you keep in mind when getting your tractor serviced. (Outside service center) ?
  1. Selection of service center.
  2. selection of engine oil.
  3. selection of service kit.
  4. Inspect the fuel line.
  5. Inspect the radiator and water supply line.
  6. Check the air intake capacity and its lines.
  7. Clutch and Break adjustment.
  8. Comprehensive health checkup.
  • Selection of service center.   If you are going to get your tractor serviced, you should ensure that you take it to an authorized service center of the brand of tractor you own. Authorized service centers have professional mechanics who will thoroughly inspect your tractor and fix any problems it may have.  The service center has all kinds of mechanical tools and original spare parts for your tractor. If your vehicle has any kind of parts problem, they will replace it so that you face minimal inconvenience.   Now, if you are getting the service done from an outside service provider, make sure you are completely satisfied that the mechanic you are using is knowledgeable and skilled. 
 
  • Selection of engine oil. Many types of engine oils are available in the market for tractors and commercial vehicles. It’s your responsibility to determine which one is best for you, as some engine oils are cheaper while others are more expensive. Cheaper engine oils are suitable for shorter operating hours, while expensive ones last much longer. Naturally, the expensive engine oils are generally available in much better quality. And better engine oils provide better protection to the engine. Two main types of engine oil are used in tractors: 20W-40 and 15W-40. Currently, three grades are commonly available: CF, CH, and CI. These are available in both 20W40 and 15W40 viscosities. If we talk about the best grade, the superior grade (CI+), whether it’s 15W40 or 20W40, provides engine protection for at least 800 to 1000 hours. In contrast, the CF grade provides protection for 2:30 to 3 hours, and the CH grade provides protection for approximately 4 hours.

  • Selection of service kit.  Choosing the right service kit for your vehicle is a crucial step, as it contains essential parts like the oil filter, diesel filter, and air filter. Opting for high-quality, branded parts will ensure better performance. A good quality diesel filter will effectively filter the fuel for a longer period and maintain a consistent fuel supply to the engine. Similarly, if the oil filter is from a reputable brand, the oil will flow properly through the engine. Otherwise, a clogged oil filter can restrict the oil supply to various parts of the engine block. The air filter prevents dust and dirt from entering the engine. Choose your engine service kit carefully. Ideally, you should purchase it from an authorized service center. Alternatively, choose brands like Bosch Filters, Purolator Filters, Mann-Filters, K&N Filters, AC Delco Filters, or other trusted manufacturers. 

 

 
    • Fuel supply inspection. Ensure that the fuel supply line is in perfect condition. When you take your tractor for servicing, the service kit usually includes a diesel filter. The mechanic will typically only replace the diesel filter, but there can be other reasons for blockages in the fuel supply line. Firstly, there’s a filter in the fuel tank itself, which mechanics often don’t check. This filter can also accumulate dirt. Secondly, this dirt can also build up in the pipes; it can accumulate in all types of pipes. Then, there’s another filter located below the hand primer (fuel pump), which can also get clogged with dirt. There are also several other lines involved. Therefore, make sure all your fuel lines are clean.
    • Inspect the radiator and water supply line.  Checking the radiator and water supply is also very important. If the tractor driver is not careful and there is a leak in the radiator or water supply line, a water shortage can occur. This lack of water can cause problems in your engine, such as damaged pistons or rings, or even cause the engine to seize completely. This happens because water keeps the engine cool. If there is a problem with your radiator or water supply, there won’t be enough water in the radiator. If sufficient water doesn’t reach the engine, the engine can overheat and break down.
    • Check the air intake capacity and its lines.  Proper airflow in the engine is also crucial because speed is directly related to adequate airflow. Sometimes the filters are replaced, but other problems persist, such as damaged hose pipes or blockages in the filter after the air filter, which, if clogged, require manual cleaning. Start the engine and thoroughly inspect the hose pipes to ensure they are providing proper airflow, are free of leaks, are not damaged, and do not need replacing. Perform all these checks.
    • Clutch and Break adjustment. / Comprehensive health checkup. Also, don’t forget to adjust the clutch and brakes. The adjustments can loosen over time. If the clutch and brakes are properly adjusted, they will function correctly for a longer period. Similarly, check all the bolts and nuts and tighten any that are loose. Check the lights and wiring, and then your tractor will be ready to operate.

Which kind of Rotavator a Farmer should buy?

Which kind of Rotavator a Farmer should buy

Some points keep in mind while purchasing a brand new rotavator 

1.  Tractor HP.  (horsepower)  

2. compare Rotavator from different brands which is available near your market. 

3. Availability of spare parts.

4. Strength of rotavator.

5. Size of field.

6. gear connection.

1.  Tractor HP.  (horsepower)

Farmers or professionals who work in the fields should select a rotavator according to the tractor horsepower (HP).  Because if a farmer uses a rotavator that is too large for his tractor’s horsepower, it won’t be able to operate in the fields. It will struggle a lot, putting a significant load on the engine, and there’s a risk of the engine breaking down. And if he uses a small rotavator with the tractor, it won’t be beneficial because it will consume more diesel, and work less and the work will take longer, resulting in a loss. Therefore, buy a rotavator according to the tractor’s horsepower. Consider this carefully before making a purchase.  

Number of Tines/Blades: A rotavator with more blades per flange requires more horsepower for the same width but offers finer soil pulverization.

Tractor HP Range Recommended Rotavator WidthRotavator Type
15–30 HP3 to 4 feet (36″–48″)Mini/Light-Duty
35–50 HP5 to 6 feet (60″–72″)Standard/Medium-Duty
50+ HP7 feet and above (72″+)Heavy-Duty
90–110 HP10 feetHeavy-Duty
100–140 HP12 feetHeavy-Duty
Up to 140 HP12 feetHeavy-Duty

2. compare Rotavator from different brands which is available near your market. 

Visit your local market and check out rotavators from different companies. Compare prices, quality, features, and durability. Make sure you buy from a reputable local dealer. Make sure to thoroughly research the market and ensure that the rotavator you are about to buy is the best in its category and price range.

3. Availability of spare parts. 

Most importantly, when buying a rotavator, make sure to choose one for which spare parts are readily available in your local market 24/7. A rotavator is a machine that will inevitably break down during use, and if it breaks down while you’re working and you can’t find the necessary parts locally, it will cause significant problems. Your work will be interrupted, and you’ll waste valuable time. Therefore, buy a rotavator only after ensuring the availability of its spare parts. 

4. Strength of rotavator.

When buying a rotavator, pay close attention to its strength and build quality. A good quality rotavator from a reputable brand will last for many years and won’t break down easily, whereas a poorly made one will frequently malfunction, resulting in significant losses of time and money.

Gear-driven rotavators are robust and ideal for heavy-duty operations and tough soil conditions, requiring less maintenance.

Chain-driven rotavators are suitable for softer soil conditions and are typically easier to handle and repair.

5. Size of field.

Also consider the size of the fields. If you have small fields in your area, then small rotavators are suitable, but if the fields are large, then larger rotavators are better.  If you use a large rotavator in a small field, it won’t work properly, and if you use a small rotavator in a large field, it will take a long time. Therefore, choose the size of the rotavator according to the size of the field.

6. gear connection.     Transmission Type:

    • Gear-driven rotavators are robust and ideal for heavy-duty operations and tough soil conditions, requiring less maintenance.
    • Chain-driven rotavators are suitable for softer soil conditions and are typically easier to handle and repair.
  • Note   meet your mechanic for suggestion. your mechanic friend give you best suggestion.

Difference between hydraulic gear and transmission oil.

Difference between hydraulic gear and transmission oil.

♣ Difference Between Transmission Oil, Hydraulic Oil & Gear Oil.

Modern vehicles and machinery depend on several essential fluids that transfer power, reduce friction, and protect components. Three of the most important fluids are Transmission Fluid, Hydraulic Fluid, and Gear Oil. Although they may seem similar, each is designed for a specific purpose and works in different systems.

This article explains their roles, types, key differences, and applications.

◊ What is Transmission Oil (UTTO)?

Transmission fluid is a specially formulated lubricant used in automatic transmissions and some modern manual gearboxes.
It performs multiple tasks:

  • Lubricates gears and bearings

  • Reduces friction for smooth gear shifts

  • Provides hydraulic pressure inside automatic transmissions

  • Cools internal components

  • Ensures proper engagement of clutch packs and brake bands

Types of Transmission Fluid

  1. Manual Transmission Oil (MTF)
    Used in older cars; can thicken in winter, making shifting harder.

  2. Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
    Controls valves, lubricates internal parts, and supports torque converter performance.

  3. CVT Fluid
    Designed only for Continuously Variable Transmissions. Using the wrong fluid can cause severe damage.

Benefits of Using Correct Transmission Oil

  • Smooth and reliable gear shifting

  • Reduced wear on gears and bearings

  • Lower friction and overheating

  • Better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions

◊ What is Hydraulic Oil ?

Hydraulic fluid is used in machines that operate using hydraulic pressure. The fluid transfers power, lubricates, cools components, and prevents rust.

Types of Hydraulic Oil.

  • Petroleum-Based Oils
    Good lubrication and rust protection.

  • Water-Based Fluids
    Fire-resistant; available as emulsions or water-glycol blends.

  • Synthetic Hydraulic Oils
    Perform well at high temperatures; not suitable for all seals.

  • Common hydraulic Oil Types

    • HM 32 –  HM 46 – HM 68

◊ What is Gear Oil?

Gear oil is a high-viscosity lubricant used in gearboxes, differentials, and heavy-load gear systems.
Its primary purpose is to protect gears under high pressure and shock loads.

Functions of Gear Oil

  • Lubricates highly loaded gear teeth

  • Prevents metal-to-metal contact

  • Reduces heat in gear systems

  • Offers extreme pressure (EP) protection

  • Extends gearbox and differential life

Common Gear Oil Types

  • EP 80W-90, EP 85W-140

  • GL-4 / GL-5 specifications for automotive gear systems

  • Used in tractors, trucks, differentials, PTO gearboxes, and rotavators

◊ Transmission Oil vs Hydraulic Oil vs Gear Oil (Key Differences)

  • PTO gearboxes

  • Rotavator and tiller gear systems

◊ Conclusion

All three fluids—transmission Oil, hydraulic Oil, and gear oil—play a vital role in power transmission, but they are not interchangeable.

  • Hydraulic oil is used in hydraulic systems that require high pressure and smooth movement.

  • Transmission Oil.  is designed specially for vehicle transmissions to ensure smooth shifting and lubrication.

  • Gear oil is formulated for high-load gear systems where strong EP protection is needed.

Selecting the correct oil based on manufacturer guidelines ensures better performance, longer equipment life, and lower maintenance costs.

Which kind of tractor a Farmer should buy ?

by

Which kind of tractor a Farmer should buy ?

There are various kind of tractor available in India. but not every tractor for every farmer.  All farmers have different need. because some farmers have less land for farming and some have more. That is why tractor should be purchased as per the need. 

The type of tractor a farmer ought to purchase depends on factors like the size of the farm the soil and terrain the crops cultivated and the specific jobs the tractor must accomplish. Here are some general recommendations. If you provide details, about your farm (acreage, crops, activities) I can assist in refining the options further.


✅ factors to consider when selecting a tractor

Farm size / land area — tractors should match the size of your land.

Tasks / implement use — whether you need it for light tasks (ploughing small patches, sowing, transport) or heavy duty (deep ploughing, hauling, large implements, multiple operations)

Soil / terrain / field conditions — if soil is heavy, sticky, or if terrain is uneven/hilly, you may need more power and better traction (e.g. 4-wheel drive).

Fuel efficiency, maintenance & cost of ownership — tractors with too much power are costlier and use more fuel; too little power may get overworked and break down.


🚜 What kind of tractor works best in different farm situations

Farm situation / requirement Recommended type / HP / drive

Very small farm / < 5 acres; light tilling, sowing, hauling small loads, orchard work Compact / mini-tractor — ~ 15-30 HP, 2-wheel drive often sufficient

Small to medium farm (~5–15 acres); mixed crops, general farming, occasional ploughing and hauling Compact / Utility tractor — ~ 30-50 HP; versatile for sowing, tilling, transport, light ploughing

Medium to large farm (15–50+ acres); heavier work, ploughing, using implements (plough, rotavator, trailer), possibly multiple crops Utility / Medium-duty tractor — ~ 50-75+ HP; can handle heavier implements and heavier loads. If soil is tough or field large, consider higher end of HP.

Large farms or commercial/contract farming; heavy ploughing, hauling, heavy implements, long hours, tough soil or uneven terrain Heavy-duty / high-HP tractor — 75+ HP (or even more depending on implements and land size), with good torque and possibly 4WD


🧑‍🌾 What is commonly selected by farmers, in India

For small holders, many use compact / sub-compact tractors (20–35 HP) because they are affordable, fuel-efficient and easy to operate.

For a “do-everything” tractor on a medium farm, a utility tractor in the 40-60 HP range tends to provide the best balance between power, versatility and cost.

Heavy tractors are more common for large farms, commercial operations, or where heavy implements are used regularly.


🎯 Points to consider (given that you’re in Bihar / probably engaged in small-, to medium-sized agriculture)

Because many farms in Bihar and similar regions are small or medium size:

A compact or utility tractor (30-50 HP) is often the most cost-effective and practical: enough power for ploughing, sowing, transport, sometimes even light haulage.

Make sure spare parts, service center availability near your area. No matter how good a tractor is on paper — if maintenance or spares are hard to get, it becomes a burden.

Consider your future plans: if you might expand farm size or add more tasks/implements, slightly higher HP (within 50-60 HP) may give better flexibility.

If you wish. I can recommend 4–6 tractor models favored by farmers, in Bihar / Eastern India including pricing and ideal applications (small medium-large farms).

Points keep in mind while buying a tractor. 
1. COST 

High HP (Horsepower) and CC and four-wheel drive and multi functional tractors pricing also high. if you have less land for farming. Then you should choose under 50 hp tractor. because in this segment of tractor price is under 5 to 6 lakh and this segment tractor is sufficient for mid range farmer.  if you cross the hp 65 the price band will be  8 to 10 lakh.

2. HP and CC  

These two things is very important while buying a tractor. HP is the same across many tractors. but CC varies. tractors that consume less diesel have less CC, due to which the power is also less. and which tractor consume more diesel  have more CC that’s why they don’t struggle. He can climb easily. Therefore, if the load on your tractor is more, then buy vehicles with higher CC. Don’t focus on fuel economy. 

3. HYDRAULIC AND ROTAVATOR SYSTEM.

The most important purpose of buying a tractor for farming. Before buying a tractor, keep this in mind: Hydraulic and PTO power should be best and multi-functional like. forward and reverse (provided in swaraj new model tractor 2025) also check PTO (Power take of) speed like 540 and 1000. PTO directly connected to rotavator so best PTO function provide good speed for rotavator. Hydraulic system. hydraulic is also very important. Therefore, choose that type of tractor that has maximum hydraulic lifting capacity.

4.  TWO-WHEEL AND FOUR- WHEEL DRIVE 

There are two kinds of tractor available in Indian market two wheel and four wheel drive. A farmer should understand that what kind of land available for plowing. If the area is too marshy. So four wheel drive would be a good idea. Otherwise two wheel drive is also fine. Because both the tractor cost and maintenance cost of four wheel drive are higher.

5. TRCTOR DESIGN

Different companies make tractors with different designs. The design of tractors of some companies is very complex. And some have easy ones. after some times. Mechanical problems occur in the tractor as soon as. If the internal design of the tractor is easy then you can fix any small or big breakdown problem anywhere. And if it is complex then you may have to face a lot of problems. Because there are no highly trained mechanics in small towns and villages, they are not able to make tractors with complex design. So try to buy that tractor that have simple design and less complex in gear box and internal mechanism. 

6. AVAILABILITY OF SPARE PARTS

Buy a tractor whose spare parts are available in the market near you. Because spare parts wear out over time. If you don’t find it in the nearby market, you will face a lot of trouble. and agricultural work will be disrupted. That is why it is very important that your tractor spare parts are available in the market near you.

 

Filter’s Used in Tractor

by

Filter's Used in Tractor

Filters in automobiles remove contaminants from air, fluids, and exhaust to protect the engine, drivetrain, and cabin. Key types:
  • Engine air filter: cleans intake air; a dirty filter hurts power and fuel economy—replace per the manual.
  • Cabin/pollen filter: cleans air entering the cabin; often with activated carbon; replace on schedule or if you notice odors or smoke.
  • Oil filter: traps metal particles in engine oil; replaced with every oil change.
  • Fuel filter: removes dirt and water from fuel; essential for smooth running; diesel versions often have a water separator and different replacement intervals.
  • Transmission filter: cleans transmission fluid; replaced during transmission service.
  • Diesel particulate filter (DPF) / Gasoline particulate filter (GPF): traps exhaust soot; requires periodic regeneration and can clog if driven short trips too often.

Tips: Check your owner’s manual for recommended replacement intervals and pay attention to warning lights or reduced performance as signs of a clogged filter.

 
Filters used in tractor
AIR FILTER  

Dry Air Filter

  • Dry filters are the most common type used on tractors due to their high capacity to capture contaminants. Key features:
  • Dry air filter may use twice if it is not more contaminated.
  • Folded structure: Made from paper, foam, or fabric, pleated to increase filtration area and trap dust and grit.
  • Easy to maintain: Simple to replace; follow usage and the manufacturer’s service intervals.
  • Works well in dry, dusty conditions: Efficient at capturing particles of all sizes, making them suitable for tractor air filtering.
  •  
Wet Air Filter
  • commonly used in old model tractors and advantageous in humid climates. Also known as oil-bath filters; the filter element sits in oil. As air flows through the oil, dust and dirt particles are trapped in the oil, preventing them from reaching the engine. Key features:
  • Climatic conditions: Highly suitable for humid conditions; the oil provides water resistance and traps dirt effectively due to its viscous, sticky nature.

OIL FILTER

Spin-on oil Filters

  • Spin-on filters are the most widely used type due to their ease of replacement. They come as a complete sealed unit containing the filter media inside a metal casing. These filters are quick to install and remove, making them a popular choice in most modern tractors.

Cartridge Filters:

  • Cartridge filters are commonly found in heavy-duty tractors and industrial machinery. They consist of a replaceable filter element placed inside a permanent housing. While cartridge filters provide superior filtration performance, they require more time and effort to service compared to spin-on types.
HYDRAULIC FILTER
spin-type hydraulic filter.
  • Also known as a spin-on hydraulic filter, is a common filter used in tractors, excavators, loaders, and other hydraulic machinery. It cleans hydraulic oil and protects the hydraulic system. 
Strainer type hydraulic filter  
  • A strainer-type hydraulic filter is a coarse mesh filter placed usually in the hydraulic oil tank or suction line. Its job is to trap large dirt particles, debris, and metal chips before oil enters the hydraulic pump
STRAINER TYPE HYDRAULIC FILTER
WATER SEPRATOR

A water separator in a vehicle is a crucial component, especially in diesel engines, designed to remove water from the fuel before it reaches the engine. Water in fuel can cause significant damage and operational issues, so the separator plays a vital role in protecting the engine and maintaining performance.

FUEL FILTER

Fuel Filter (Tractor)

A fuel filter is a very important part in any tractor’s fuel system, cleaning the diesel.  Clean fuel means smooth engine performance and long engine life.

 Fuel Filter is Important:- because it Cleans dust, rust, and dirt from diesel. Protects fuel pump and injectors

Improves fuel efficiency and power. Helps avoid engine knocking and starting problems

Types of clutch plate ( and material used in their facing)

Clutch is a essential part that links PTO (Power Take-Off) to the engine and gearbox. Understanding the different types of tractor clutches and their maintenance is essential for prolonging your tractor’s lifespan and enhancing its efficiency—whether you’re a new buyer or an experienced farmer looking to upgrade. Let’s explore the various classifications of tractor clutches.

Types of tractor Clutches Based on Operation

Single Clutch assembly

This simple clutch system runs one friction plate to control the PTO as well as the gearbox. It stops the tractor and implements at once. It is ideal for small-scale farming. The limitation of this clutch is that the PTO is limited while the clutch is pressed, therefore limiting operations. For example: the Swaraj 735 FE tractor has a single clutch. 

Dual Clutch assembly

The dual-clutch can operate two clutch plates (transmission clutch and PTO clutch) with a 2-stage longer pedal that is utilised twice during gear changes—once to move to neutral and once to the intended gear. It is designed for heavy-duty implements like rotavators, harvesters, etc., needing exact control. Benefits include less gear grinding, less fuel consumption and help to synchronise gear speed. Swaraj 742 XT is one of the tractors using this clutch.

Double clutch assembly

There are two clutch plates in this system—one for tractor movement and another for PTO operations. There is a hand lever called IPTO (Independent Power Take-Off) for handling the PTO clutch and a foot pedal for controlling the transmission. Double clutch, like the one used in Mahindra yuvo tech+ 575 DI, is ideal for mid-sized to large-scale farms with several implement uses. PTO operates outside of the main gearbox and improves multitasking; hence, you can easily stop the implement without stopping the tractor. 

 

Types of clutch plate based on disk Facing

Type    Temp. (°F) Best Use
Woven Organic   600 Daily Driver
HD Organic   700 Most Street Performance, Towing, and Hauling Applications
 Ceramic    1000  Racing
 Feramic    1000  Racing/Agriculture
 Feramalloy    1000  Heavy Duty Hauling and Towing; Commercial Trucking
       

 

ORGANIC (White Facing)

Organic facings are typically made from phenolic resins, friction modifiers like metallic powder or metal oxides, and compounded rubber. These facings come in two types:

Molded Facings,  We do not Recommend to use this. 
Woven Facings, which include fiberglass yarn woven into the material to increase strength. The burst strength of an 11″ OD/6.5″ ID woven facing is over 10,000 RPM.

As you can see, woven organic facings are much stronger than molded facings, which translates to better life and performance.

Woven organic friction materials are commonly used in OEM applications, as they offer a good combination of smooth engagement, wear resistance, and strength.

Summery.

In almost all cases, woven is better than molded. For most vehicles, a woven organic clutch offers the best combination of performance, durability, drivability, and cost.

HEAVY-DUTY ORGANIC (White Facing)

Heavy-duty organic clutch facings are similar to normal organic clutches in terms of engagement smoothness, but with more temperature resistance and durability.

Heavy-duty organic clutch facings feature more metallic content, which boosts heat resistance and reduces fade.

This gives these clutches resistance to temperatures as high as 700°F, at least for short periods, as well as increased burst strength.

Summery

Heavy-duty organic facings are just fine for most towing, hauling, and street performance applications. They’re temperature-resistant, strong, and durable but still smooth.

 

CERAMIC (Black Facing)

Ceramic clutch facings are composed of a blend of copper, iron, tin bronze, silicon dioxide, and/or graphite. The material is sintered or brazed onto a backing plate and often riveted to the main clutch plate.

These facings can endure high temperatures—up to 1,000°F—without fading, making them ideal for racing applications. However, it’s important to note that ceramic clutches typically have a high ratio of static to dynamic friction, which can result in more abrupt engagement.

FERAMIC

Feramic clutch facings, with their high coefficient of friction and high static-to-dynamic ratio, are primarily designed for racing applications where quick lock-up is paramount.

Composition and Design

These facings are constructed from a blend of steel, silicon dioxide, tin bronze, and graphite. Feramic facings can cover the entire clutch face (full-face) or be designed as smaller contact points (buttons).

Carbotic Facings

A specialized variation, known as a carbotic facing, is used in truck applications. This material provides ceramic-like temperature resistance while still allowing for smoother engagement than standard racing feramic.

FERAMALLOY FERAMIC

FeramAlloy facings are poised to replace traditional ceramic facings. They offer comparable wear and temperature resistance but feature a significantly improved static-to-dynamic ratio, resulting in smoother engagement and notably less chatter than ceramic materials.

  • CONCLUSION

  • There Are 4 type of clutch plate (Disk) Used in tractor. 

  • Very low-quality white facing. organic material used 

  • Low quality White Facing.  organic material used but in high quality 

  • Standard Quality Black Facing.  mix material use like. Asbestos, Woven fiber (Kevlar or aramid and ceramic material)

  • High quality Black facing. material used like copper, iron ,tin bronze, silicon, or graphite

Tractor hydraulic problem and solution

by

Tractor hydraulic problem and solution

TRACTOR HYDRAULIC PROBLEM
There are many ways to deal with tractor hydraulic problems as the issue can range from oil leaks to faulty pumps, faulty filters, air leaks, overheating, and even sluggish running.
Slow or weak performance
If your tractor implements respond slowly to lift or perform, the system probably is not creating enough pressure.
Low fluid levels: The simplest reason for poor operation is low hydraulic fluid. Refer to the reservoir and top off with the fluid recommended by the manufacturer as necessary.
Clogged filters: A dirty or plugged hydraulic filter slows down fluid flow, causing the system to lag. Change the filter per your tractor’s service schedule.
worn hydraulic motor: The hydraulic pump is the system’s backbone. When it is worn, it will be unable to provide sufficient pressure and flow. It can be diagnosed by looking for low pressure, strange noises, and inefficiency.
Overheating
Heat may damage oil seals and run out the hydraulic fluid, causing premature component failure.
fluid level: Low fluid makes the system have to work harder and produce more heat.
Incorrect gear oil : Use of the wrong viscosity gear oil may compromise the system’s capacity for heat dissipation. Only use the fluid that the manufacturer recommends.
Excessive load: Driving under heavy load for a long time can tax the system too much and make it overheat.
Erratic or jerky movement
Irregular or stuttering hydraulic movement is frequently the result of air contaminated in the fluid.
Air leakage: Air may enter the system through loose fittings or leaks in suction side pump. Check all the hose and fittings for damage or loose clamps.
Fluid contamination
Dirty hydraulic fluid can do severe damage to your system by destroying seals, clogging filters, and wearing out components.
Water contamination: If your hydraulic fluid appears whiteness, it is water-contaminated, which can rust parts and deteriorate the fluid’s properties.
Dirt : Dirt particles can find their way into the system via external leaks, dirty couplers, or maintenance.
Leaks
Fluid leaks cause loss of pressure, decreased efficiency, and possible environmental risk.
Worn hoses and seals: Check all hoses and seals for cracks, damage, or wear and tear.
Loose fittings: Inspect all fittings and connections to make sure they are securely tightened.
Damaged couplers: Quick-connect couplers may leak because of damaged internal O-rings.

My tractor is not racing what should I do

by

My tractor is not racing what should I do

  • Reason behind the tractor is  not racing, (power drop)
  • Fuel Supply. Sometimes various types of garbage get stuck in the tractor tank. The fuel supply is not reaching the pump properly. Either the pipe is blocked, the mesh is blocked, or the Diesel filter is stuck by the garbage. All these factors cause obstruction in the fuel line.
  • Fuel Pump. Sometimes the race setting in the fuel pump gets messed up. Because of this, the tractor has difficulty in acceleration. and also tractor speed and power
  • Clutch Assembly Problems. If the tractor’s acceleration is full or fast. Then the clutch and pressure plate can also be a reason. Because the clutch and pressure plate wear out over time. It is necessary to change these. If the clutch plate is old and worn out. Then it does not transfer full power from the engine to the gearbox. The tractor cannot run fast and with power. And this is why the engine also overheats.
  •  Adjustment of clutch pedal. Make sure the clutch pedal is fully released. A loose clutch or pedal clearance problem can cause a decrease in power transfer.
  • Tyre condition is also a reason of power drop.
  • Air Filter: A clogged air filter can also hamper engine performance.
  • SOLUTION.
  • Clean the tractor tank and fuel lines

How to maintain Rotavator

TIPS FOR MAINTENANCE

Oil level: – Every Rotavator use oil in their shaft gear box and Rotary gear box. Oil helps gears to work smooth and it also reduce heating while working in the field 

So when working in the field check oil level every after 2or3 days. To avoid extra expenses or waste of time during heavy work load.

Soil and dirt :- while working in the field heavy soil stick under the rotary  it reduce the rotavator speed and harm the body    So clean all soil from the rotavator and blades  in every interval of work.
Use Of Cross :- do not use damage cross because it disturb the alignment connection PTO shaft to rotavator shaft 
Spare Parts :- Always consider to replace spare parts not use welding replacement of parts keep your rotavator strong
Inspection of farm  :- Clean the field before plowing Because the fields have Big stones rope which can damage the rotavator. The rope clings to the blade and damages the oil seal
Inspection of blades:–

Bolts break off from the blades during ploughing, causing the blades to jiggle around more often. and damage to the blades Always check and tighten loose bolts for the further damage.

Bearing :- Always use good quality bearings, they last longer.
Greasing:- At the end of the day of working. Grease your rotavator cross and other parts which need to grease. the habit of greasing protect parts from corrosion

Why We Use Coolant in Tractor

Coolant in a tractor is used to regulate the engine’s temperature

preventing overheating and ensuring optimal performance. It helps dissipate heat generated during engine operation, protects engine components from thermal damage, and maintains efficient functioning under heavy loads or high temperatures. Proper cooling also extends the engine’s lifespan and improves fuel efficiency.

Water vs. Coolant

Feature Water Coolant
Purpose Primarily for cooling For cooling and engine protection
Freezing Point Freezes at 0°C Contains antifreeze, prevents freezing
Boiling Point Boils at 100°C Higher boiling point, prevents overheating
Corrosion Protection No Contains additives to prevent rust and corrosion
Lubrication No Yes, lubricates water pump and parts
Color/Additives Usually clear, no additives Often colored, contains corrosion inhibitors


Water vs. Coolant: Understanding the Differences and Features of Coolant

When it comes to maintaining the optimal temperature of engines and machinery, choosing the right fluid is crucial. Two common options are water and coolant. While both serve the purpose of heat transfer, they have distinct properties and applications.

Water: The Basic Cooling Medium

Advantages

  • High Thermal Conductivity: Water is excellent at absorbing and transferring heat.

  • Availability and Cost: It is inexpensive and readily available.

  • Effective in Short-Term Use: Suitable for temporary cooling needs.

Disadvantages

  • Corrosion: Water can cause rust and corrosion in metal parts.

  • Freezing Point: It freezes at 0°C, which can damage engines in cold climates.

  • Boiling Point: Boils at 100°C under standard pressure, limiting its effectiveness at high temperatures.

  • Scale and Mineral Deposits: Can lead to mineral buildup, reducing efficiency.

Coolant: The Specialized Fluid

What is Coolant?

Coolant, often called antifreeze, is a specially formulated liquid designed to regulate engine temperature and prevent damage. It is typically a mixture of water and chemical additives.

Features of Coolant

  • Antifreeze Properties: Prevents freezing in cold weather.

  • Boiling Point Elevation: Raises the boiling point, allowing the engine to operate at higher temperatures without boiling over.

  • Corrosion Inhibition: Contains additives that protect metal parts from rust and corrosion.

  • Lubrication: Provides lubrication to water pump and other moving parts.

  • Color and Additives: Available in various colors (green, orange, pink) for identification and contain dyes and inhibitors.

Types of Coolant

  • Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT): Traditional coolants with silicates and phosphates.

  • Organic Acid Technology (OAT): Longer-lasting, with organic acids.

  • Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT): Combines features of IAT and OA
