Benefits of Spring Row Crop Planter Inspections

Annual inspections are essential for the longevity and productivity of your equipment. As planting season comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to complete a professional service inspection. Whether you want to have individual row units inspected or the entire unit, the Castongia Tractor Service Department can help. 


Why Inspect Right After Spring? 


Having your planter inspected right after planting season might seem counterproductive, but it can set you up for success. Once your seeds have germinated and you’re happy with your population counts, you’ll clean out your planter and park it in the shed. However, if you take an extra step and have your planter inspected before it goes into storage for the rest of the year, you’ll be ahead of the game for the next planting season. 


Tackle Repairs Now


If you had any problems during planting season, scheduling an inspection in the Spring can give you plenty of time to resolve the issues before you’re making furrows again. Seeking repairs after the season is complete gives you more time next year to focus on operational decisions and less time prepping your planter.
