Maintaining your tractor would need to be kept up just the same as you would any other piece of mechanical equipment. If possible, store your tractor away from harmful elements such as wind, sun and rain. Always maintain an appropriate oil level, and change the oil when necessary. Also, make sure you have plent of fuel -- otherwise your tractor won't be running at all!
