Excessive fuel consumption in farm machinery can result from engine inefficiency, improper tyre inflation or clogged air filters. Other causes may include worn-out injectors, dirty fuel filters or incorrect engine settings. Routine engine tune-ups, replacing air and fuel filters and ensuring proper tyre pressure can help reduce fuel use. Also, avoid overloading your machinery, as it can strain the engine and lead to higher fuel consumption. Monitoring these factors will improve your machine's efficiency and save on fuel costs over time.

An overheating tractor engine is often caused by low coolant levels, a malfunctioning radiator or a clogged cooling system. Dirt, debris and grass buildup can block airflow to the radiator, reducing its ability to cool the engine. A worn-out water pump or a broken thermostat can also contribute to overheating. To prevent overheating, regularly clean the radiator fins, check coolant levels and inspect belts and hoses for damage. Addressing these issues early will prevent engine damage and ensure smooth operation in the field.

The frequency of belt replacement depends on the type of machinery, the intensity of use and the operating conditions. It’s essential to inspect belts regularly for cracks, fraying or stretching. If the belts appear worn or if there’s a loss of tension, it’s time to replace them. For heavy-use equipment, such as combines or balers, belts may need to be replaced more frequently, especially during peak seasons. Timely belt replacement prevents unexpected breakdowns and ensures your equipment runs smoothly during critical farm operations.
