County Agent Walter Brown urges repairing and adjusting farm machinery before spring work to prevent crop losses from delayed planting or harvesting. About 75 percent of field breakdowns come from neglecting adjustments or late repairs. Byron Virtue of Iowa State College says repair is wise if the machine isn’t obsolete, repairs are cheaper than a new unit, and it will work well after repair.
In some cases machines are fifty percent worn making complete overhaul difficult and expensive. Sometimes replacing with a newer, larger capacity machine yields enough extra output to justify the higher upfront cost. More than likely this trend drives capital replacement decisions.
Carded items cite lack of adjustment and need for minor repairs rather than junking. Bulletins on repair and adjustment of binders, mowers, and plows are available at the Farm Bureau office.
