The 2021 harvest is in the rearview mirror and farmers are now focused on the upcoming growing season. With that, it?s never a bad time to get your combine inspected for the 2022 harvest later this fall. Courtney Brumbach, Case IH Service Marketing Manager, says producers have a good opportunity right now to schedule a post-season inspection for their combines.
?Post-season is the perfect time to schedule equipment inspections. By conducting an inspection now, it really allows the ability to address any potential issues with your machinery before the next season rolls around. With seasonal equipment such as combines, there’s most likely an extensive amount of wear and tear during harvest. By maintaining and inspecting, it provides for proper winter storage.?
Brumbach talks about the process of a post-season inspection.
?They make sure that nothing is overlooked, and the equipment is readily available to perform at utmost efficiency for the following season. For example, combine inspections may include engine, electrical and hydraulic inspections, fluid analysis, cab safety protocols and much more.?
Brumbach says service technicians are trained and skilled in assessing equipment while being the experts in inspecting, maintaining and repairing your machines.
?They know the equipment like you know your fields, really down to every last inch. Technicians can identify issues that may incur by proactively fixing future problems, ensuring equipment uptime and proficiency.?
Lastly, Brumbach believes getting a post-season inspection on your equipment at the dealership gives you piece of mind.
?Although it may be tempting to perform repairs on your equipment, inspections are best left to be performed by dedicated and trained technicians. Ensure that your equipment is at peak performance for the next season, and give yourself a peace of mind by leaving the repairs to your local dealership.?
