Fuel System Issues

Sometimes, fuel system problems can result in low fuel pressure in your tractor. This can negatively impact the power and efficiency of your machine and prevent its implements from performing to their full potency.

To fix this issue, check if the fuel control level on your engine is jammed and hindering the fuel flow to your engine. You want to spray lubricant into the system to resolve the issue. However, if it persists, seek help from a professional tractor mechanic.

Engine Troubles

Faulty spark plugs can make it hard to start your tractor, increase fuel consumption, and affect performance. Inspect your spark plugs and replace them to resolve this issue. You also want to examine your carburetor to see if it is clogged and clean it to restore your tractor’s efficiency.
