The End of Season Mower Clean-up

We have recently commented in our blog about the importance of draining down your mower before parking it up for the winter season.

That’s not the only job that’s worth doing though and you need to concentrate on getting it as clean and dry as you can before winter storage.

Now we all know the usual good advice about making sure the underside of the mower is completely cleaned down and all grass and mud deposits removed after every cut. It’s also probably a fair bet to say that sometimes such end-of-cut cleaning is, at best, a little cursory!

Time pressures can be severe and that might lead to us all skimping a bit on routine cleaning and maintenance.

However, even with Kubota mowers, it really is important to put aside a little more serious time for a final end-of-season clean. That’s because residual moisture in old grass cuttings and soil that has become lodged around the cutting edge protection is very likely to get started with enthusiasm on corrosion once your mower is parked up for several months.

So, follow your manufacturer’s advice and of course ask us for our tips too but essentially get underneath your mower (safely) and get it completely cleaned, brushed down and dried off. Deal with any even tiny indications of corrosion immediately rather than hope they’ll go away.

A little bit of oil on key friction points is also a good idea as would be some DIY care and maintenance on aspects of the engine such as its ignition system and oil levels etc.

Get those gaps and electrical connections checked, brushed down and make sure everything is ship-shape before you park your mower at the back of your garage somewhere and forget about it for quite a few weeks.

It really will go a long way towards helping you avoid some of the frustrations of struggling to start your mower when the new season arrives. If you don’t take some of the above steps well, much as we always welcome visitors, you might find that you’re coming to see us a little more next spring than you’d really hope to!

White’s Tractors Announces Access to New Krone Agricultural Finance Arrangements

White’s Tractors, is pleased to announce the availability of new finance and funding arrangements for purchasers of KRONE equipment.

Online PR News – 24-April-2015 – 24/4/2015 Goulburn, NSW – Goulburn, NSW – The area’s pre-eminent provider of Kubota tractors and associated specialist farming and agricultural equipment, White’s Tractors, is pleased to announce the availability of new finance and funding arrangements for purchasers of KRONE equipment.
This offer is available from Krone Finance and comprises:
• 1.9% pa finance (deposit of 20% required)
• Nothing to pay for six months
• Payment options available for up to 5-year terms
• Conditions available on the entire Krone range.

This offer expires on 30 April 2015. Terms and conditions apply.
Krone agricultural equipment is well-known throughout the entire farming industry for the build and engineering quality utilised in its production.
The business owner of White’s Tractors, Andrew White, added the following explanatory observations to the announcement.
“Somehow ‘making do’ with out-of-date and ramshackle agricultural equipment can be a huge false-economy. We know some farmers who complain they spend almost as much time in their shop or somebody else’s, trying to repair broken-down equipment, as they do in their fields. The costs in playing that game can be high.
Many would love to replace their equipment with more modern and reliable versions but of course, worries about how to find the money to pay for the purchase are commonplace.
That’s why we at White’s Tractors welcome this great offer from Krone Finance and we’re happy to discuss the details of it with our local farming community.
Krone is almost a household name and a byword for flexibility and reliability. This finance deal puts it within the reach of many farmers who would previously have been unable to move forward with such a purchase.
There are other financing options of course and any responsible farmer will, understandably, wish to compare one option against another.
We are drawing to people’s attention though that this offer is of short duration and expires in less than a month. At this stage, we can’t guarantee its future availability past the expiry date, so we’re recommending that interested parties contact us as soon as possible to discover more”.
Farmers and other interested parties looking to understand more of the special finance offers contained within the above announcement are cordially invited to visit the White’s Tractors’ website.

White’s Tractors Announces Access to New Kubota 0.9% Finance Deal on the B and L series Tractors

White’s Tractors of Goulburn, the leading provider of Kubota tractors has announced new finance and funding deal on the KUBOTA ‘B’ and ‘L’ series tractors.

Online PR News – 28-April-2015 – 28/4/2015 Goulburn, NSW – White’s Tractors of Goulburn, the leading provider of Kubota tractors and related specialist farming and agricultural equipment, has announced the availability of a new finance and funding deal on the KUBOTA ‘B’ and ‘L’ series tractors.
That deal comprises:
• 0.9% finance
• $3,500 instant customer rebate (model L3800HD)
• 3-year / 3,000 hour warranty.
The offer is subject to terms and conditions.
The ‘B’ and ‘L’ series tractors from Kubota continue to be seen as two of the most popular models in farming due to their flexibility and reliability.

White’s Tractors business owner, Andrew White, comment further on the new finance scheme.
“At White’s Tractors, we know that the B and L series are immensely popular.
Many farmers would love to upgrade their existing equipment to one of these state-of-the-art models. Of course, almost inevitably in tough times, affordability can be an issue. Whilst both of these tractors offer fantastic value for money, even so, some farmers may worry about how they’re going to be able to fund the purchase.
Few farmers may be able to simply write a cheque to pay for them.
Yes, conventional bank loans are certainly an option but even then, many farmers prefer choice. If you can’t compare one funding option against another then it’s impossible to say for sure whether or not you’re getting a good deal or one that’s the most suitable for your unique financial circumstances.
It’s no secret that White’s Tractors favour Kubota equipment for many reasons, including their sheer quality and rugged no-nonsense engineering. Even so, we’re being objective when we say this finance proposal is, in our opinion, a really good deal and we’re proud to be able to offer it.
We’re always happy to hear from local farmers and if they have any further questions about this finance proposal, we’d welcome their enquiries in person, on the phone or through our website”.

Parking up the Mower for the Season

One of the commonest requests for help we receive relates to people who are unable to start their petrol lawnmower at the end of winter when the first of the new season cuts are approaching.

Now there are many symptoms that can cause this problem but one culprit that we often see is when the mower has been parked up over winter but still seemingly has half a tank of fuel in it from ‘last year’.....Read More

Funding your Agricultural Machinery Purchase

Although we pride ourselves on offering the keenest deals around, even we have to accept that purchasing a tractor or mower is something that is never likely to be described as being “low-cost”.

Particularly if you are a farmer and have a lot of land to cover, you are probably going to need a pretty meaty piece of equipment and even when looking at second-hand items, you may have to find some non-trivial amounts of money to purchase it...Read More
