Walkaround checklists

A quick look-over before you start a machine, to catch a leak, a flat or a loose pin before it becomes a repair. Free to use; no account needed.

• Tractor Before starting a tractor for the day.
• Front loader For a tractor with a front-end loader, on top of the tractor list.
• Riding or zero-turn mower Before mowing.
• Skid steer or compact track loader Before starting.
• UTV or side-by-side Before heading out.
• Implement (3-point or towed) When hooking up a mower, tiller, box blade, rake or trailer.

These are general reminders, not a substitute for your operator's manual, which comes first. Never check under a machine or near blades with the engine running, and lower everything to the ground first.

Want reminders for oil changes, filters and greasing too? Tracktor is free for one machine.
