How to Prepare Your Machine for Heatwaves? Operating in Extreme Weather Conditions | GĄSKA
The summer season, especially in July and August, can be merciless not only for people but also for agricultural machinery. High temperatures, dust, overloads – all these factors increase the risk of breakdowns and reduced equipment efficiency. And it’s during this time that machines are used most intensively. So, can you protect yourself from that?
GĄSKA, a company specializing in reliable parts and components for agricultural machines, shares expert advice on how to prepare your equipment for extreme heat. In this article, you’ll find practical tips to help you minimize the risk of costly downtime and ensure a smooth harvest season.
Why is heat preparation essential in agriculture?
High air temperature and intense operation can cause numerous failures – from engine overheating to hydraulic or electrical system issues. Agricultural machines that aren’t properly prepared may fail at the worst possible moment.
The most common problems in summer include:
- Overheating engines and cooling systems,
- Decreased performance of oils and operating fluids,
- Clogged filters and air intakes,
- Overloaded hydraulic systems.
Neglecting maintenance before the heatwave season can lead to financial losses and harvest delays. That’s why prevention matters.
The benefits of proper heat preparation – What do you gain with GĄSKA?
1. Improved machine reliability
Regular air filter and fluid replacement allows machines to operate efficiently even in the harshest conditions.
GĄSKA offers high-quality filters, oils, and parts meeting extreme temperature standards.
2. Effective engine cooling
An efficient cooling system is essential. High temperatures make every clogged passage or worn thermostat a risk.
With GĄSKA’s cooling components, you can react quickly and avoid serious damage.
3. Proper oil and fluid selection
Too-thin oil in heat won’t lubricate well; too-thick oil may cause strain.
GĄSKA advises on correct viscosity grades and supplies summer-appropriate products.
4. Efficient hydraulic system under control
Hydraulic systems face high pressure and temperature. Overheated hydraulic oil is a common failure source.
GĄSKA offers filters, oil coolers, and technical advice to maintain optimal condition.
5. Time and cost savings
A well-maintained machine = fewer breakdowns = higher profits.
Investing in quality parts and preparation helps you avoid towing, repairs, and crop losses.
Working with GĄSKA is a smart investment.
How to recognize quality parts and fluids for hot-weather work?
Before purchasing, pay attention to:
- The supplier’s and manufacturer’s reputation (avoid cheap alternatives),
- Thermal specifications (heat resistance),
- Quality certificates and machine compatibility.
GĄSKA guarantees:
- Genuine and verified replacement parts,
- Technical support,
- Product availability in season.
Summary: Take care of your machine – work safely and without interruptions
Summer harvests are a time of intense effort. Engine overheating, weak hydraulics, or oil failure are risks you can avoid.
Thanks to comprehensive machine preparation – from filters to fluids – you can be confident your equipment will handle the summer challenge.
Don’t risk downtime and crop loss.
