Address the Problems You Nursed Through ›Winterize Before the First Hard Freeze
Coolant checks, fuel treatment and battery testing matter now that Ohio and Indiana nights are dropping below freezing. Diesel gels fast when you are not ready.

Finishing beans and corn grinds down threshing components. Order replacements now so the machine goes into the shed ready instead of needing parts in March.

Running Alongside You Through the Last Acres
Our stores across Ohio and Indiana keep extended harvest hours and roll service trucks to the field when a machine goes down. We know an idle combine in late October costs more than the repair.
Find a locationWhen should I schedule a combine inspection after harvest?
As soon as you finish, or even before. Shops across Ohio and Indiana book solid through winter, and early machines get first pick of the schedule.
What corn moisture is safe for long-term storage?
Shelled corn is generally stored around 15 percent for winter and drier for longer holding. Check bins regularly as temperatures swing this time of year.
Should I store my combine with a full fuel tank?
Yes. A full tank cuts condensation and rust in the tank over winter. Add a stabilizer and change the fuel filters before it sits.
