When it comes to your planting season, productivity is key. Every minute lost to downtime means less time in the field – leading to missed planting deadlines, reduced yields and potential financial losses. But with a bit of planning, you can help keep your equipment moving.

Before planting even begins, you should perform a standard equipment check to make sure your tractors, tillage and planters are in good working order. Checking oil, hoses and fittings is typically top of mind – but you can’t forget about tires. Firestone Ag has created a 7-Step Tire Check list to help you quickly but effectively check your tires for signs of wear during the off-season so you can maximize up-time when planting and growing seasons arrive.

Regularly checking tires can help prevent and avoid more time-consuming problems in the field, increasing the tires’ lifespan and your profitability. And if you find any problems after completing the 7-Step Tire Check, a certified Firestone dealer can inspect the tire to know if repairing or replacing the tire is the best option for you.
