Tractor Service & Repair for Vidor
From Vidor, FM 105 runs north to U.S. 96 and the store. The shop works on tractors, implements and mowers. Spring is its busiest stretch, when the grass greens up and every machine goes back to work. Western Orange County is level and low, with loam over clayey subsoils. Mud, dust and brush debris all find their way into a tractor. You can schedule service online.

Oil changes, filter changes, hydraulic work, and engine repair all happen in the shop. A machine that won't start, won't lift or runs rough is shop work too. Whether something breaks down in the field or a routine service comes due, our service department handles the work. We work on other brands too.

Questions people ask
How do I know when my tractor's oil and filters are due?
Your operator's manual lists the hour intervals for oil, filters and fluids, and those are what to go by. Watch the hour meter, not the calendar. The air and fuel filters are the two owners skip most. An inexpensive air filter is all that protects an expensive engine from dust. The fuel filter catches water and dirt before they reach the injectors. If your tractor works dusty ground in a dry spell, look at the air filter well before its hour mark.
What are the signs of water in my tractor's fuel?
Hard starts, rough running and a loss of power under load. Water in diesel fuel costs real money to repair. It also rusts the fuel system from the inside. Most of it gets in through condensation in a tank that sits partly empty. In a humid part of Texas like Orange County, that's worth guarding against. Keep the tank full when the tractor's parked. Drain the water separator if it has one, and change the fuel filter on schedule.
Why is spring the hardest time to get a tractor into the shop?
Because everything comes in at once. Spring is the shop's busiest stretch. The grass turns green and every machine that sat through winter goes back to work at about the same time. Batteries die. Carburetors gum up from sitting. Blades and belts show their wear. The fix is to beat it. Bring the tractor in during late winter, before you turn cattle out or start cutting brush. Small problems are easier to catch before the season leans on them.
Does your shop service tractors and mowers of any make?
Yes. We work on other brands too. The shop works on almost anything it can get parts for, including equipment with Kohler, Briggs & Stratton or Kawasaki small engines. That covers tractors, implements and mowers, wherever you bought them. Call the store first with the make and model. Describe what the machine is doing, or not doing. That tells the shop where to start before the tractor ever leaves Vidor. A short description beats a guess.
My loader drifts down on its own. Is that a shop job?
Usually, yes. A loader that sinks while it's holding a load points to hydraulics. The cause might be a worn cylinder seal or a valve that no longer holds. A low fluid level or a leaking hose can add to it. Check the fluid and look for wet spots along the lines first. If those look fine and it still drifts, it's a shop job. Don't work under a raised bucket meanwhile. Call the store and describe what it's doing.
