Regularly cleaning your agricultural equipment not only helps it to look its best but also helps ensure that it will last longer and perform better. That’s why the experts at Magnum Power have created this guide to cleaning your agricultural equipment.

Develop a Cleaning Routine

One of the best ways to ensure that your agricultural equipment gets the cleaning it needs is to create a cleaning routine. We recommend cleaning at least once every week or after each usage, depending on how often you use that particular piece of equipment. These cleanings are a great opportunity to inspect your equipment for potential maintenance issues. 

Use Appropriate Cleaning Solutions & Tools

Using rough cleaning tools and solutions can actually do more harm than good. Your owner’s manual should have a list of cleaning products that are safe to use on your machine. While your agricultural equipment has been built with a tough exterior, some of the more delicate internal components may need to be cleaned using soft brushes or sponges to prevent damage. 

Focus on Critical Components

Cleaning the exterior is easy enough, but you’ll also need to take care of your agricultural equipment’s internal systems like the engine compartments, hydraulic systems, and electrical circuits. Don’t forget to cleanse your vents and swap out the filters as well!

Clean Attachments Separately

If your agricultural equipment utilizes any attachments, be sure to remove them and clean them separately. You can also take this opportunity to inspect the bolts/latches for wear and tear.
