It is advisable to prohibit rain, dust, and “critters” from entering the exhaust system. Putting a cover over the
exhaust is a good idea even if the tractor will be used the next day. If it is going to sit for a longer time this
becomes even more important.
If the tractor is going to sit for a month or more, then you might want to consider turning off the fuel tank valve
(located on the left side bottom of the fuel tank).
If the tractor is going to sit for a month or more consider putting a trickle charger on the tractor battery.
Significantly cold whether will reduce the battery’s power by roughly 30%. If excessively cold temperatures are
expected consider moving the battery into a warmed location.
If the tractor is going to sit for a month or more you may want to put diesel fuel stabilizer into the fuel tank
(make sure it is intended for use with diesel fuel). If the tractor is going to go months without a refilling of the
diesel fuel tank because of low usage, then consider a diesel fuel stabilizer.
While parking in-doors is always preferable, many tractors have to be parked outside. Should you cover the
tractor to reduce the effect of weather and the elements? Have you developed a standard procedure and standard
equipment to cover the tractor?
Have you thought about security issues to prevent theft or vandalism?
