Tractor Batteries at the ready
Spring has arrived, and for those in the farming industry, that means it’s time to start getting our equipment and machinery ready for the new season. One of the most important things to check before firing up your tractors and other machines is their batteries.
Most have been sitting idle all winter, they may need some attention or even replacement. In this post, we’ll go over some tips for checking your farm machinery and tractor batteries.
I remember one spring when I worked on a local farm in the school holidays spring break. The farmer and I were getting his tractor ready for the potato planting season. We had everything checked and ready to go, or so we thought.
When he turned the key, nothing happened.
It was a frustrating moment, but luckily we had a spare Tractor Batteries to swap out.
It turned out the battery had died over the winter, and we hadn’t checked it before trying to start the tractor. That experience taught me the importance of checking the batteries and other equipment before the season starts.

Spring a Special time of year
Springtime on the farm is a special time of year. The fields start to turn green, the air is filled with the sounds of birds and the hum of tractors, and there’s a sense of anticipation for the growing season ahead. But before you can start planting, you need to make sure your equipment is in good working order.
One of the most crucial components is the battery. It’s the lifeblood of your machinery, providing the power needed to start and run your equipment. Without a good battery, you can’t get anything done.
Here are some tips for checking your farm machinery and tractor batteries this spring.
- Inspect the battery for any signs of damage or corrosion. This can indicate that the battery is old or has been exposed to the elements.
- Check the fluid levels in the battery. If they’re low, add distilled water until they’re at the recommended level.
- Check the battery’s connections: Over time, the connections on your battery can become corroded or loose.
- Check the battery’s charge level: Before you do anything else, check to see how much charge your battery has. You can use a voltmeter or multimeter to do this. If the battery is below 12 volts, it may need to be recharged or replaced.
