Introduction
As winter approaches, preparing your machinery for winter storage is critical for ensuring it runs smoothly in the spring.

Give Your Tractor a Deep Clean
Dirt and plant material may damage parts during storage. Before storing your tractor, clean it thoroughly to protect against rust.

Top Off Fluids and Replace Filters
Outdated fluids and clogged filters can damage internal components. Top off coolant and change air filters before winterizing your machinery.

3. Disconnect the Battery
Keeping the battery hooked up during storage can lead to battery failure. Remove the battery and store it separately to extend its life. Ensure the battery is stored properly for cold weather.

Prevent Rust and Corrosion
Water exposure can damage metal components during storage. Cover your tractor Bobcat Repair Manual (deviantart.com) with a waterproof tarp to avoid corrosion. Use rust-prevention spray on metal parts for added protection.

5. Inflate Tires Properly
Deflated tires can lead to tire damage during long storage periods. Adjust tire pressure for winter storage to prevent flat spots.

Final Thoughts
Properly winterizing your tractor is key to ensuring a smooth start in the spring. By paying attention to the details of storage, you’ll avoid costly repairs when farming resumes.
