Your tractor runs on hours. Track every fluid change and filter.

Tractors don't travel far, but they work long. A compact tractor on a small property can log a few hundred hours a year without ever leaving the gate. A larger agricultural tractor during planting and harvest can rack up 100 hours in a single week.

Nearly every service interval is hour-based. Engine oil every 200 hours or once a year on many compacts (some go 400). Hydraulic/transmission fluid around 400 hours (some models 300). Air filters when the restriction indicator says so. LookOver tracks tractor hours natively, the same way it tracks dirt bike hours. Set your intervals from the owner's manual and let the app handle the reminders.

Tractors rely on hydraulics for everything: loader arms, three-point hitches, PTO operation, power steering. Hydraulic fluid degrades under heat and load. Filters clog. Lines develop leaks. The hydraulic system is often the most neglected and most expensive to repair.

LookOver tracks hydraulic service separately from engine oil. Set the fluid change at your manual's interval, around 400 hours on most compacts. The filter gets changed with every fluid change and usually in between too: first at 50 hours on a new tractor, then about every 200. Look over the lines for leaks on your pre-use walk-around. Log hydraulic fluid condition with photos. Clean fluid should be clear amber. Dark or milky fluid means trouble.

Most tractors run diesel engines, which have their own maintenance requirements. Clean fuel matters more on a diesel than on a gas engine, so the fuel filter is a critical one. Water separators need draining regularly. Some newer tractors also have emissions equipment like a DPF or DEF system, with service items listed in the manual. Glow plugs or grid heaters need periodic testing, especially before cold weather.

LookOver tracks diesel-specific services alongside standard engine maintenance. Set fuel filter intervals, water separator checks, any emissions items your manual lists, and cold-weather prep reminders based on your climate and usage.

Your tractor is only as useful as the implements it runs. Mower decks need blade service. Post-hole diggers need bit inspection. Augers need grease. Snow blowers need shear bolt stock. Each implement has its own maintenance needs tied to the tractor's PTO hours.

LookOver lets you track implement maintenance alongside the tractor. Set a blade sharpening reminder at whatever interval fits your mowing. Set a gearbox oil check on the rotary cutter at the interval in its manual. Keep the tractor and everything it powers organized together.

Tractors work hardest during specific seasons. Spring planting, summer mowing, fall cleanup, winter snow removal. Each season stresses different systems. The mower deck works all summer. The snow blower comes out in winter. The loader runs year-round.

LookOver's date-based reminders complement hour-based tracking for seasonal prep. "Winterize the tractor" in November. "Service the mower deck" in March. Build seasonal checklists once and reuse them every year.

Many LookOver users aren't running commercial farms. They're property owners with a compact Kubota, a John Deere 1025R, or a Massey Ferguson GC Series. These tractors are serious investments ($15,000-$30,000+) that need consistent care. LookOver makes tracking approachable for the owner who uses their tractor 200 hours a year, not 2,000.
