The agricultural tractor currently plays an extremely important role in the development of agriculture worldwide. Due to the cold winter climate, large temperature differences between day and night, and sometimes strong winds mixed with sand and stones, as well as several consecutive days of icy and snowy weather, it is currently important to study the maintenance and use of agricultural tractors in this region during the winter season to ensure the development of agriculture.
Waxing the fuselage and sealing the axles of the landing gear
Nowadays, due to the influence of industry and other factors, the pH values of rain and snow are generally acidic. Winter snowfall often results in a large accumulation of snow on tractor bodies, leading to erosion. Therefore, applying wax or coating to the body during winter is not only the best way to prevent erosion, but also helps to prevent the occurrence of ice formation on the body to a certain extent. Additionally, sealing the chassis is important in cold regions. Snowy weather during winter can cause heavy snow accumulation, hindering transportation. People usually use snowmelt agents and compounds with high salt content to accelerate the melting of ice and snow. However, this can result in acidic ice and snow meltwater on roads. When a vehicle passes through, the fast rotation of its wheels can cause splashing of high-salt snow water onto the tractor chassis. Without proper protection, the chassis is susceptible to corrosion and rust. Therefore, properly maintaining tractor bodies and chassis during winter can improve their durability and performance.
Add antifreeze to ensure normal engine operation.
In many places around the world, the winter weather is extremely cold and the temperature is often below 0℃. In such a situation, maintaining the cooling system of the tractor engine is crucial. If the engine cooling system is frozen, it will be difficult to start the tractor and may even cause damage to the engine, which will reduce its usefulness. Therefore, in winter, a specialized anti-freeze fluid should be used instead of ordinary water. Compared to water, specialized anti-freeze fluid has a lower freezing point and is less likely to freeze, effectively preventing the cooling system from freezing. However, when adding anti-freeze fluid, it is important to be measured. Adding too little will reduce its effectiveness and adding too much is wasteful.
