I don't like working on cars anymore - I used to love it. I bring all the cars into a shop on schedule for all maintenance/oil changes, etc. I'll have them change out additional stuff depending on how the car/truck is riding, usage, etc.
Farm equipment is a whole other matter. Before a machine is started all fluids are checked, air filters checked (dirty air is the bane of farm equipment), tires checked and all grease points hit on heavy wear points.
Every time. Even the pull equipment, finishing mowers, sprayers, etc, get checked and lubed. My battery powered grease gun has been a blessing!
I also change the fluids and all filters at 4/5 time from the maintenance manual...or on condition depending on the visual inspection.
I have two MF 2300 3 cylinder diesel small tractors going on their 15th and 16th year. I just replaced the larger tractor with a new one - just hit 70 hours total time. What a dream machine.
