Finding a tractor supply company
If you own a tractor and other equipment, it is important that you locate a tractor supply company that can supply you with the oil, hydraulic fluids, grease, and other supplies necessary to protect your investment and keep it running reliably. One of the quickest ways to prematurely wear out a tractor or other piece of equipment is to neglect regular maintenance - especially lubrication. Tractors often operate in very dirty & dusty conditions and this dirt can find it's way into the engine and between other moving parts. Frequent applications of grease to grease fittings is important to not only supply fresh lubrication, but to also force out dirt, water, and other contaminants. Engine oil filters can only trap so much contamination. In fact, they are purposely designed to let smaller contaminates pass through. If they were designed to trap all of the junk, then the filtering media would have to be so fine that it would restrict oil flow too much and ruin the engine. So, even though the filter will catch most of the larger particles, very small particles will still pass through the filter and continue circulating through the engine potentially causing unnecessary wear. The best way to try to remove all the wear particles is regular oil changes where contaminants can be drained out while they are still suspended in the oil. Same is true for hydraulic fluid. A convenient source for your tractor supply needs and regular maintenance is important for long tractor life.

One obvious tractor supply source be a dealer of the particular brand of machine that you own. They will usually not only stock the general tractor supply stuff like: oil, hydraulic fluid, grease, but they will also be able to supply you with the exact parts you need to make repairs. So a local dealer can be the best choice for parts and brand specific accessories for your machine. However, quite often the local dealer can be more expensive for some of the more generic stuff like lubricants. That is when it might be good to look for another tractor supply company that can get you what you need for a better price. Places like a local NAPA (especially if you live in a rural area) will often stock all the lubricants you might need - as well as many of the filters required. One of the most popular tractor supply business in the US is: Tractor Supply Company. They are a large retailer located in many states across the country, and they are an excellent source of general parts and supplies for your tractors like lubricants, hitch pins, 3pt. accessories, and many other supplies. Other local sources for these sort of items are places like Big R and Murdoch's Ranch & Home.
If you do not have a Tractor Supply Company, Big R, or NAPA nearby, then you can often order what you need over the internet. Some equipment manufacturer's dealers have e-commerce sites where they can sell you the specific lubricants, filters, and parts that you may need. In addition, another general tractor supply company that sells online is Northern Tool and Equipment. They even sell compact tractors, implements, general parts, and tractor accessories. Another good online source (with some local retail outlets as well) is Harbor Freight. They are not so much a tractor supply source, but they do sell a tremendous number of tools and equipment that you might need while working on your tractor and other machinery. Harbor Freight has a good selection and can have some great prices too.
If you are looking for a place to buy supplies, then you might want to start by searching your phone book for local retails stores like Tractor Supply Company, Big R, Murdoch's or others. Check to see if a dealer for your specific brand machine is located nearby. If not, then search online and see if you can find a dealer that ships parts and supplies you may need. And don't forget places like the local NAPA. Whatever your tractor supply company you choose, be sure to spend the little bit of extra time and money to properly maintain your machine, so that you can increase your chances of enjoying the benefits of many trouble free hours of operation.
