Winterizing Your Self-Propelled Sprayer

This article is featured in an
AGCO customer publication.

 

Whether you are a professional applicator
or grower,following these guidelines will ensure that your application equipment is properly stored for the winter. Then, when the spring application season rolls around, you can focus on things like fluid changes, simple checks of light operation, tire inflation and controller calibration. You'll be up and running a lot faster with fewer delays and headaches if you have put your sprayer away properly for the off season.

TECH TIPS

 

It's crucial to prep your technology devices for harvesting season. Make sure to save the info from your yield monitor to a USB
or compact flash card before harvesting season and
clear out any old data.
 

Keeping your
technology's software
up-to-date is one of the most important precautions you can take.
Flaws or unanticipated vulnerabilities can be experienced when software is outdated.

 

Please call Altorfer's technology support
for assistance:
