Getting ready for winter

[deere755]

Well its that time of year I hate. I have been washing and greasing equipment to put away for the winter. I think I am about done. The worst part about winter is there isn't much to do on a tractor except plow snow and I don't want any of it. I am trying something different this year with my equipment. I always painted all my plows or shovels on the cultivators with plow coat but the last couple of years I have noticed it doesn't scour real well so I went back to grease this year. My Grandfather swore by it so I will try it myself. The tiller was a pain to brush grease on to all the tines. I guess it wasn't any worse then the field cultivator or the disk. What do most of you use.

I use to put grease on my plow but by the time I needed it again the grease was all gone and the plow was all rusty anyway, so I don't use anything now. To get rid of the rust coating I just take the plow down to my gravelbar and plow a hundred feet or so close to the water and the plow comes out shining like new.

Mix some deisel fuel and il in a hand sprayer and spray that on. I've done it for years on disks and plows and it has worked great, no rust at all over the winter and it wears off quick when you start in the dirt in the spring.

I had not thought about using diesel and oil in a sprayer. That would be a lot easier than what I did. I like all the good advice I get on this sight.
