Benefits of Preventative Maintenance
What Is Preventive Maintenance?
Preventive maintenance is not about fixing problems. Its focus is on preventing those problems from ever happening in the first place. It includes cleaning, lubrication, adjustments, repairs, and parts replacement.

How Preventive Maintenance Saves You Money
1) Increase Operational Efficiency
When preventive maintenance is properly implemented, equipment is routinely maintained so it can run in optimal condition at all times. When machines run more efficiently, they don’t have to use as much energy and resources, which means cost savings.
2) Reduce the Risk of Expensive Repairs
When machines break unexpectedly, you have the costs of labor and the cost of the parts (which can include expedited shipping charges). Preventive maintenance can dramatically reduce the risk of these costs. Using preventive maintenance also lets you chose convenient times to schedule your machines downtime.
3) Increase the Life of Equipment
In addition to reducing downtime and expensive fixes, preventive maintenance will also increase the life of your equipment. When everything is up to date and maintained properly, you will maximize the lifespan of your machinery.

John Deere Fun Fact! 
Origin of the Plow
When the American economic bubble burst in the 1830s, John Deere headed west, soon to be followed by his wife and five children. Deere was an established blacksmith back in Vermont, but he would have to start over in his new home of Illinois. It didn’t take long for Deere to set up his blacksmithing shop in Grand Detour, Illinois. He soon realized the farmers in his community were not seeing success in the fields based on their hard work alone. Families settling the area were having trouble with the sticky prairie soil, an unexpected challenge compared to the sandy soil of their homeland. Their tried-and-true cast iron plow had to be scraped off and tended to every few feet in America’s Heartland. Convinced a different material and shape would solve the problem, Deere found a broken steel sawblade and began crafting history.
One man’s trash became Deere’s groundbreaking innovation. He reshaped the blade, paying great attention to the exact curvatures of the tool. In the dirt, it was a first-of-its-kind success. For the community it served, nothing was ever the same. Deere used the momentum from this single innovation to build a business and keep refining the product itself. With the help of research, customer feedback, and time-tested hard work, John Deere the business was booming by 1849, producing 2,000 plows a year.
