Harvest is here, and equipment is being prepared for another fall in the field. While the focus is on combining and yields, it is never too early to start thinking about prepping the seedbed for spring planting. Fall tillage offers a head start on preparing the perfect seedbed for planters in the spring. But before heading out to the field one last time this fall, make sure your equipment has been properly maintained and checked over.
When it comes to tillage tool management, a little goes a long way. Proper maintenance and regular checkups on tillage equipment can be the difference between minor tune-ups or costly repair bills.
Here are 5 quick tips to do before heading to the field this fall.
Always read or reread the operator’s manual to ensure all maintenance is done properly before heading to the field. It is also important to go over all the maintenance steps with everyone involved in operations on the farm. Keeping everyone on the same page promotes better communication and can save time and money and headaches down the road.

I’m planning on starting a farm of my own and this article was really helpful. I’m planning on buying a large tillage machine and since this is my first time handling one, I’ll be sure to try learning from a professional and maintaining as you said. I’ll also have to check how often I need to replace the tillage disc blades, I got mine second hand so I’m not sure if the blades are still in good condition so I may just buy new ones either way.
