Whether you’re ready for a new harvester, or just trying to make it through another season with an old one, you’ll find all the resources you need with us. From your shop floor to emergency field fixes, Magnum is here to share the basics you need to know about sod farm equipment maintenance.
Lubrication
Your machine will go through thousands of revolutions every minute over hours of cutting, rolling, and wrapping every big roll of sod. To keep every component running smoothly, regular lubrication is incredibly important! In our SR maintenance video, our factory technician shares the types of oil and areas where you can grease this piece of equipment.
We have a library of free resources for farmers to maintain their machines to factory spec every time. Regardless of your sod farm equipment maintenance needs, Magnum’s got you covered with resources, parts, and tips from the factory floor.
Protection
Preventing the effects of weather and regular wear and tear is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure a lasting machine. After harvesting, we suggest cleaning off the cutter blades, checking all major points throughout your machine, and parking it inside a shed, or putting a cover on top. Our machines are built tough enough to withstand thousands of hours of staking, harvesting, and installing, but leaving them exposed to the elements can put them at risk of rust or deteriorating tires and belts. Keep your machine protected to minimize unnecessary replacements.
Replacements
Throughout the life of your machine, you will need to replace belts, blades, and other parts. To make these jobs easy, we include access to detailed parts manuals with every replacement part from our factory. For more challenging sod farm equipment maintenance jobs, you can get guidance over the phone from our team, or schedule a trained technician to come to your door. No matter what your machines need to keep rolling, Magnum offers fast shipping and exceptional customer service!
