Tips for Adding Equipment

Use Descriptive Names

Use clear, descriptive names that help identify equipment quickly:

Good names:

  • “John Deere 6M 110 — Main Field”
  • “Irrigation Pump #1 — North”
  • “Sprayer 500L — Vineyard”

Avoid:

  • “Tractor” (too generic)
  • “Equipment 1” (not descriptive)

Complete Technical Specs

Take time to fill in technical specifications. This information helps with:

  • Activity planning and resource allocation
  • Maintenance scheduling
  • Compliance reporting
  • Financial tracking

Set Up Maintenance Tracking

Enter initial working hours and set maintenance intervals. This enables:

  • Automated maintenance reminders
  • Equipment lifecycle tracking
  • Cost analysis per operating hour
