Keep tractor servicing on schedule.
Track maintenance by engine hours, kilometres or date.

Use readings your team already records
Hours and kilometres entered during fuel logging keep each machine’s service position current and make overdue work easier to spot.
Different machines need different schedules. Tractors, pumps and generators are commonly serviced by engine hours, while pickups and trucks are usually maintained by kilometres. Inspections and annual work can be scheduled by date.
Because operators already enter current hours or kilometres when logging fuel, the service position can move forward through the normal daily workflow. Upcoming and overdue maintenance is easier to see without maintaining a separate notebook.
- Use engine-hour intervals for tractors, generators, pumps and plant equipment
- Use kilometre intervals for pickups, trucks and other road vehicles
- Add date-based reminders for inspections and time-based maintenance
Match the reminder to the machine
| Asset | Useful trigger | Example rule |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor or combine | Engine hours | Service every 250 hours |
| Pickup or truck | Odometer | Service every 10,000 kilometres |
| Generator or irrigation pump | Engine hours | Oil and filter service every 200 hours |
Use the manufacturer’s schedule and your operating conditions for the actual interval; the examples show how the reminder types differ.
A 250-hour tractor service example
Tractor 4 was serviced at 2,000 hours. Its next service is due at 2,250 hours. A fuel entry made at 2,228 hours leaves 22 hours to plan parts and workshop time.
Hours remaining = next service reading − latest recorded reading
| Reading | Value |
|---|---|
| Last service | 2,000 h |
| Next service due | 2,250 h |
| Latest fuel-log reading | 2,228 h |
| Remaining | 22 h |
When a meter reading looks wrong
- Compare it with the previous fuel entry for the same machine.
- Check for a misplaced decimal, wrong machine selection or a replaced/reset meter.
- Correct the record before using the reading to plan maintenance.
- After completing the work, update the next service target from the actual service reading or date.
How it works
- Add the machine.
- Set its next service reading or date.
- Update readings during normal fuel logging.
Use reminders for tractors, combines, pickups, trucks, generators, pumps and off-road equipment.
Common questions
Can reminders use engine hours?
Yes. Hour-based reminders suit tractors, generators and pumps.
Can vehicles use kilometres?
Yes. Pickups and trucks can use kilometre intervals.
Can I set a date reminder?
Yes. Use a date for inspections or time-based maintenance.
