How to prepare your tractor for the grape harvest: tyres, steering and mechanics

In short

Before the grape harvest it is worth checking your tractor’s tyres, pressure, wheel alignment and general maintenance. A breakdown in the middle of the season costs time and money; a timely check prevents it.

Why check before the season

During the harvest the tractor works long hours, loaded and on uneven ground. That is exactly when you can least afford a breakdown.

Basic checklist

Tyres: cuts, wear and correct pressure.
Wheel alignment: the tractor shouldn’t pull to one side.
Brakes and controls in good condition.
General preventive maintenance check.

When is the best time to check the tractor?

A few weeks before the season, so there is time to repair or replace parts or tyres if needed.
