Mr. Tien, the owner of the mechanical workshop, his clothes covered in grease, was actively repairing the tractor. He shared: During the land preparation stage, everyone needs to maintain their machines, not to mention that many damaged tractors are brought in for repair.

Plow repair mainly fixes engine errors such as radiator failure, worn gears, broken shafts, and high pressure pumps. In addition, we also repair engine failures, gear changes, lathes, and steam for large-sized plows. In addition, the facility also produces cage wheels and plow blades to meet customer needs. Working hard every day, we can repair 2-3 plows of all kinds.

Not to mention that during the tillage season, some tractors suddenly "break down" in the fields. Whether it's a hot noon or a dark night, mechanics still bring their tools to the fields to fix them for the people.

At this time, at a tractor repair shop in Dien Thai commune, Dien Chau district, there are more than 10 tractors of all kinds waiting. The owner of this facility said: During the harvest season, there is no end of work, the tractors brought in are mainly fully maintained before being put into operation in the fields, there are also some seriously damaged ones that have to order spare parts from Hanoi or Vinh city.

During the repair process, we also instruct tractor owners on how to maintain and repair simple errors to be proactive in the event of machine damage in the field.
