Compliance with the rules of storage of equipment during the winter will allow you to successfully begin spring-field work next year
Competitions among organizations of the agro-industrial complex for setting up equipment for winter storage and preparing the machine-tractor fleet for the repair of agricultural machines were held in the regions of Tatarstan. Proper storage ensures a long service life and efficient use of equipment at the lowest cost for its maintenance, allows you to maintain the efficiency of the machines during the non-working period. This important stage takes place with the participation of specialists of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan.
So, last week, for example, a commission with the participation of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Rishat Khabipov assessed the process of putting the equipment for winter storage in Mamadyshsky District. According to the results of the competition, the APC Foodprogram took the first place.
In the Aksubaevsky district, according to the results of the inspection with the participation of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, Ildus Gabdrakhmanov, Aksu Agro LLC took the first place.
The Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Talgat Tagirzyanov visited the Leninogorsk region. Here, the LLC Lenin became the best.
In the Vysokogorskyi district, the first place was taken by the Krasnaya Zarya agricultural production complex. The deputy minister of agriculture and food of the Republic of Tatarstan Marcel Makhmutov checked the equipment. Similarly, a commission assessment takes place in all regions of Tatarstan.
Let's see how the equipment is put into winter storage and what rules must be followed. Every agricultural enterprise should be informed. Cars are stored indoors or under awnings. Storage of machines in open areas with mandatory implementation of the rules of conservation and sealing is allowed; some components and parts are removed for warehouse storage. Before installation, check the condition of the machines.
Wash the car, conduct seasonal maintenance. Fuel equipment is canned. Damaged stains are completely restored. Machines are installed horizontally with stands. Under the steel wheels of the machines, there are supports laid, mounted machines and machines with pneumatic tires are placed on supports or goats. Units, assemblies and parts requiring special storage conditions are placed in storages. Swivel joints of linkage are open, lift, steering wheels, steering rods are clean and lubricated. The protruding parts of the rods of the hydraulic cylinders are coated with protective grease. Tire pressure is reduced. The surface of tires and rubber hoses is coated with light-protective grease.
Flexible hoses may be wrapped with wax paper. Springs unload whenever possible. Open areas should be on dry, not flooded places with drainage ditches around the perimeter. The surface of the sites is made flat, with a slight slope for the water drainage, with a hard asphalt or concrete coating that can withstand the load from moving machines and machines installed in storage. It must be remembered that compliance with all these rules will help to keep the equipment in good condition and successfully begin field work in the spring next year.
