How to Use Implements to Maximize Efficiency

If you’re an experienced farmer, you must be aware that different implements allow you to tackle challenging tasks so you can get even more work done on your farm. However, to unlock their full potential, you’ll need to know how to use them properly. We've created the following guide to help make the process easier for you. If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to get in touch with us at our dealership.

Read the Owner’s Manual

First things first—you will want to start the process by consulting your owner's manual for your implements and other equipment. Of course, it is not the most enjoyable read but it will provide you with valuable information. Each implement is unique and there can be specific guidelines on how to connect and use it, and there’s no one better resource than the manufacturers themselves to give advice. Reading and understanding this information will help you use your implements in the best possible way.

Pre-Usage Inspection

You will also want to ensure that your equipment and implement are in good working order. Make sure that the guards and shields are in place, keep an eye on the hydraulic lines for leaks, and check that the connections are secure. If you spot any red flags, we’d recommend addressing them as soon as possible.
