CBU Tractors: A Complete Guide for Farmers
When it comes to investing in high-powered farm equipment, you need a solution that is more than efficient, but one that saves you the headache. That is why an increasing number of farmers and dealers, all over the world, are getting to rely on CBU tractors – Completely Built Unit tractors, built entirely in the manufacturing plant, then shipped directly and ready to be put instantly into operations.
If you are operating a small farm or engaging in much larger commercial farming, CBU tractors are excellent investments with powerful performance, reliability, and ease of use.
AgroAsia Tractors, leading supplier of tractors and other farm machinery, presents this comprehensive guide to provide essential information on the handling of CBU tractors – from delivery to operation in the field.
What Are CBU Tractors?
CBU (Completely Built Unit) tractors are fully assembled farming machines made, tested, and packed in the country of origin. They are delivered with all equipment and structures intact. Unlike SKD (Semi Knocked Down) tractors, which need assembly at the destination, CBU tractors are factory-assembled and performance-tested – ready for use after basic inspection.
Main Advantages of CBU Tractors:
- No Assembly Needed
- Quality and Performance Tested Ahead of Time
- Time-Saving – Arrive Ready to Work
- Minimized Potential of Assembly Errors
- Suitable in Remote Areas Lacking Assembly Facilities
AgroAsia Tractors offers a wide range of CBU tractors – from compact models for small farms to powerful machines for commercial-scale agriculture.
What to Do After Receiving a CBU Tractor
Although CBU tractors are fully built, there are important steps to ensure safety and reliability before first use:
1. Let the Tractor Stand Idle for 2 Hours
After unloading, keep the tractor idle for at least 2 hours. This helps the engine and hydraulic systems stabilize to the new environment.
2. Fill the Radiator with Water or Coolant
Open the radiator cap and fill it with clean water or the recommended coolant mix. This prevents overheating when starting the engine.
Hint: Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the correct coolant-to-water ratio.
3. Check and Fill Essential Fluids
- Engine Oil: Ensures proper lubrication – top up if needed.
- Hydraulic Oil: Vital for lifting and steering performance.
- Steering Oil: Enables smooth and accurate control.
- Air Cleaner Oil: Keeps engine safe from dust and particles.
Always use quality oil to maintain manufacturer warranty and performance.
4. Top Up the Diesel Fuel Tank
Fill the tank with clean, filtered diesel fuel before engine start. This prevents contamination and injection system damage.
5. Check for Any Leakages
Visually inspect for signs of leakage around:
- Engine block
- Hydraulic connections
- Fuel lines
- Radiator pipes
Ensure all fittings, gaskets, and seals are secure and leak-free.
6. Pipe Fittings Inspection
Check all pipes (hydraulic, fuel, coolant) to confirm they’re tightly connected. Loose fittings may reduce performance and create safety risks.
7. Battery Electrolyte Check
Inspect the battery for proper electrolyte levels. Use distilled water if needed. A well-maintained battery ensures quick engine startup.
8. Start Engine and Warm Up for 2 Hours
Once all checks are complete, start the engine and let it idle for another 2 hours. During this time:
- Ensure hydraulic link arms are in the down position
- Allow hydraulic pressure to stabilize
- Monitor engine temperature and unusual sounds
This warming stage helps internal systems adapt to operating conditions.
Total Preparation Time: ~4 hours from unloading to operation.
