How To Maintain Agricultural Trencher?

Agricultural trencher is a common agricultural machinery used for trenching, burying pipes, fertilization and other operations in the field. Proper maintenance can extend the service life of the trencher and ensure its normal operation. The following are the key steps to maintaining an agricultural trencher:

1. Daily check-ups

Clean the machine: After each operation, clean the dirt, weeds and other debris on the trencher, especially the parts that are prone to accumulation of dirt such as knives, chains and wheels.

Check bolts and fasteners: Ensure that all bolts, nuts, and fasteners are fastened to avoid faults caused by loosening.

Tool wear: Check the wear of cutting parts such as blades and chains. If the tool is found to be seriously worn or damaged, it should be replaced or repaired in time.

2. Lubricate

Regular lubrication: The trencher has many moving parts, such as chains, bearings and transmission parts, and regular lubrication can reduce wear and extend service life. Select the appropriate lubricating oil or grease according to the machine instructions.

Lubrication point: pay special attention to the lubrication of key moving parts such as chains, gears, bearings, and hinged parts, and clean and fill lubricating oil regularly.

3. Check and replace the wearing parts

Check the chain and transmission device: ensure that the chain tension is moderate, should not be too tight or too loose, adjust if necessary. If the chain or gear wear seriously, need to be replaced in time.

Drive belt inspection: check whether the drive belt has cracks or wear, if found problems, timely replacement.

Hydraulic system inspection: If the ditcher is equipped with a hydraulic system, check the oil quantity and oil quality of the hydraulic oil, and replace the hydraulic oil regularly to avoid oil quality deterioration affecting the work.

4. Electrical system maintenance (suitable for electric or equipped with electrical system ditcher)

Check the circuit: ensure that the wires and connectors are intact to avoid leakage or poor contact.

Battery maintenance: If the ditcher uses battery power, check the battery level regularly to ensure that the battery is in good contact and to prevent excessive battery discharge or charging.

5. Engine maintenance (for diesel or gasoline powered ditchers)

Change the oil regularly: Change the oil regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain the lubrication inside the engine.

Clean the air filter: The air filter is easily blocked by dust and impurities, check and clean the air filter regularly, and replace it if necessary.

Check the fuel system: ensure that the fuel tank, fuel line, fuel filter and other systems are unimpeded to avoid impurities entering the fuel system.

6. Storage and maintenance

Storage location: When not in use, the trencher should be stored in a dry place to avoid long-term exposure to rain, sunlight or humid environment.

Treatment during long-term storage: If the ditcher needs long-term storage, the fuel tank should be emptied of fuel, cleaned and coated with anti-rust oil, and covered with protective cloth or protective cover.

7. Regular maintenance

Professional maintenance: Every certain time or working hours, it is recommended to send the trencher to a professional maintenance station for maintenance to ensure that the machine is in the best working condition.

Maintenance records: Do a good job of machine use, maintenance and maintenance records, easy to grasp the condition of the machine and maintenance cycle.

Through daily maintenance, regular maintenance and correct operation, the service life of the agricultural trencher can be effectively extended, the work efficiency can be improved, and the failure can be reduced.
