Tractor knowledge

[Marc Z]

Hi all,

 

I have a job interview next week, part of which will be a short test on tractor knowledge (no driving involved) I'm thinking it will entail safe use, daily checks, basic maintenance and attaching and use of pto implements and front forks- I haven't used tractors much since a 2 day course at college years back, so a little rusty- any advice tips or pointers as what might be asked or expected to know would be very helpful. I'm not aiming to deceive anyone, only rekindle what I know is lodged in the back of my memory!

 

If anyone has a link to something helpful I'd appreciate it, I can't find the lantra style workbook we were issued.

 

Many thanks

Have a look on youtube loads of safety videos on there

I imagine they will want to hear you say you would do pre start checks as in engine oil, hydraulic oil, water level and a glance over machine looking for any defects tyres etc, for hitching up an implement make sure spool valves clean if it's hydraulic or trailer hoses going to be connected, check pto guards in place on machine and tractor, putting on front forks much the same, there is other things but that will just be basic common sense hope that helps

i should imagine it will mostly be on safe use of the PTO and linkage. there really isn't much they can ask you other than the safe working use of the machinery and pre checks like paganus has already stated.

 

good luck mate.
