TractorLife.com, a Web site that helps farmers maintain and extend the operating lives of their tractors, has added a blog. Appropriately called the TractorLife.com blog, it addresses an array of topics about tractors and farm equipment, including tractor maintenance, new products, implements, tier-4 engines, safety issues and fuel efficiency – as well as things to consider when buying or selling tractors.
Mark Moore, a well-known ag communications professional, hosts it. He has edited and contributed to ag publications as varied as Hay & Forage Grower, Farm Industry News, Corn and Soybean Digest, No-Till Farmer and Farm Equipment, to name a few. Moore is a member of the North American Agricultural Journalists and American Agricultural Editors’ Association.
“The blog, like the Web site, is about helping farmers extend the useful and productive life cycles of tractors and other farm equipment,” Moore says. “We want to help farmers be proactive about maintenance to get the most out of their tractors. And that includes posts about engine oil, hydraulic tractor fluids and many other tips about machinery maintenance.”
Moore adds that, when possible, he relates timely news events that affect the ag community to the blogs he posts on TractorLife.com multiple times per week. Many farmers get maintenance information from local tractor dealerships and co-ops. The TractorLife.com blog provides farmers with a personable and friendly format for exchanging timely and relevant information with farmers from around the country to help improve performance and protect expensive farm equipment.
