Farm tractors are essential equipment for agricultural production. Their efficiency and durability are crucial to ensuring optimum yields. However, even the most robust tractors can break down, often due to inadequate maintenance or natural wear and tear. In 2025, technological advances in farm machinery troubleshooting and maintenance, such as Jaltest INFO Web, are helping farmers to detect and repair problems quickly, ensuring maximum productivity and minimizing downtime.
1. Engine problems: the heart of the machine
The engine is undoubtedly the most vital component of a tractor. Engine-related breakdowns are common and can have multiple causes, such as overheating, oil leaks or incorrectly adjusted injectors. These problems are often due to a lack of preventive maintenance, such as oil changes too far apart or clogged air filters.
How to repair :
To pinpoint the cause of engine failure, Jaltest INFO Web provides detailed diagnostics using its fault code reading tools. The system guides you directly to the components at fault, such as injectors, fuel pump or cooling management. You can also consult technical diagrams to locate faults and follow repair procedures adapted to your tractor model.30% of tractor breakdowns are linked to engine problems, often avoidable through regular maintenance.
2. Transmission problems: when the power stops flowing
A tractor’s transmission is another key component that can fail, particularly in cases of misuse, wear or negligent maintenance. Symptoms of transmission failure include hard-to-engage gears, unusual noises or loss of traction.
How to repair :
With Jaltest INFO Web, it’s possible to diagnose the transmission using real-time diagnostic tools. The software gives you access to specific fault codes related to the gearbox, clutch or differentials. You can then consult detailed solutions, including wiring diagrams and repair steps, to effectively resolve the problem.
3. Electrical faults: electronic system failures
Modern tractors are increasingly equipped with electronic systems to manage everything from ignition to speed control. A blown fuse, a faulty sensor, or a battery problem can lead to breakdowns that disrupt farming operations.
How to repair :
Diagnosing electrical systems is made easy with Jaltest INFO Web, which lets you read error codes specific to the tractor’s electronic components. The software identifies potential sensor, battery or relay failures, and guides you to the most appropriate repair solutions, with visual instructions to simplify the process.
Electrical failures will account for around 20% of all failures in 2024. Quick access to error codes via Jaltest INFO Web reduces downtime and avoids costly repairs.
4. Hydraulic system: loss of pressure or leaks
The hydraulic system is responsible for many crucial functions, such as lifting farm implements and controlling equipment. Hydraulic system failures, often caused by leaks or pressure problems, can quickly lead to a complete shutdown.
How to repair :
Jaltest INFO Web helps you diagnose pressure or leakage problems by providing detailed reports on the condition of the hydraulic system. Using the diagnostic tools, you can identify faulty components, such as hoses, cylinders, or the hydraulic pump, and find repair solutions based on diagrams and step-by-step guides.
Hydraulic problems accounted for around 10% of tractor breakdowns in 2024. Early detection can minimize costs and optimize tractor performance.
5. Tires and suspension systems: premature wear and air leaks
Tires and suspension systems play an important role in tractor stability and efficiency. Premature tire wear or problems in the suspension system can affect traction and driver comfort, as well as reducing working efficiency.
How to repair :
With Jaltest INFO Web, you can diagnose tire and suspension problems with tools that identify pressure or wear faults. The system will advise you on tire replacement or adjustments needed to restore your tractor’s performance.
