For those that use their tractor away from their shop/house.
1. What would you consider some must have tools on the truck for field repair. Tractor is M4-071 for me.
2. Specific brands better than others? (not crazy expensive though.)
3. Anyone carry gas powered air compressor or generator and electric? (for cleaning radiators etc)
Thanks for the info.
Good day…do you mean with me (included with tow vehicle) or do mean just the machine itself? IMO the best thing you can do is preventative maintenance versus bringing the shop with you. Stay on top of it to minimize in field failures.
I have two properties 4 hours apart…it’s a challenge for sure. I’d recommend:
1. Take what you need to do a tire change on a trailer.
2. Beyond your chains and straps, I keep an air compressor that runs off a battery and a tire repair kit, hi lift jack and basic recovery gear and high quality first aid kit / fire extinguisher…it’s really more for the tow vehicle. (typically the truck). And always, always, always, no matter what keep an emergency supply of your preferred thinking juice.
I keep a decent tool kit in the vehicle
3. On the tractor itself, I keep some extra clevises, extra cotter pins and a large and small crescent wrench / screwdriver / and some lifting straps.
4.I typically have a leaf blower to clean the screen / grill and a grease gun at the truck.
5. I usually have two GSDs which add comic relief and personalized protection of my stuff…make sure to have plenty of water and shade for the security detail.
If I am not at my residence, Generally aside from something loose, it’s a walk back to truck, barn or neighbor’s no matter how I slice it. And first stop is to sample the thinking juice.
