Details

In this workshop, participants will gain a solid understanding of tractor engines, including key systems, parts, and daily fluid checks. We’ll explore how the entire tractor functions—from the hydraulic system and transmission to the clutch and PTO—and cover the basics of troubleshooting and servicing. Participants will also learn about common implements, their attachment, and maintenance. Safety will be a central focus, with guidance on reducing tractor-related accidents. This workshop is designed for both new and experienced operators who want to strengthen their skills in maintaining and repairing tractors and implements.

More information, including the specific location of your workshop, will be sent after registration is completed and reviewed.  

Can't make this workshop? We'll also gather on 10/17 in Orleans County and on 10/22 in Chittenden County.
