Routine inspection, lubrication, hose care, storage, and correct operation protect attachment performance.

Tractor attachment ready for routine inspection

Routine inspection, lubrication, hose care, storage, and correct operation protect attachment performance.

Most preventable attachment failures begin as loose hardware, dry pivots, chafed hoses, damaged couplers, or continued use after a small crack or bend appears.

What matters most

Most preventable attachment failures begin as loose hardware, dry pivots, chafed hoses, damaged couplers, or continued use after a small crack or bend appears.

Key considerations

  • Grease every specified pivot
  • Inspect hoses and fittings
  • Check pins, bushings, and retainers
  • Clean and protect couplers
  • Store securely and address damage early

Put it to work

Follow the attachment and carrier manuals, avoid side loading beyond the design, and stop when unusual movement, noise, leakage, or deformation appears.

The ANBO approach

ANBO designs serviceable wear points and offers parts support; include the attachment model when requesting pins, bushings, seal kits, or cylinders.

Put the right attachment on your machine.

Let ANBO verify the fit.
