Ranger Diesel Back to Full Performance with Farm and Fleet Services

Executive Summary

When a customer reported that their Ranger Diesel machine was sluggish and not driving as it should, Farm and Fleet Services carried out a full check-over to find the cause. The team identified a badly worn drive belt, ordered a replacement, and returned to site to fit the new belt and check the pulley shimming. After testing the machine, the customer was delighted with the improvement in performance.

About the Customer

This customer relied on their Ranger Diesel machine for day-to-day work around the farm and needed it running properly to keep jobs moving.

The Challenge

The machine was lacking performance and was not driving very well. This made it less effective for daily use and raised concerns about reliability if the problem was left unresolved.

The Solution

Farm and Fleet Services inspected the machine and quickly found that the drive belt was badly worn and needed replacing.

The team then:

• Ordered a new drive belt
• Returned to the farm to fit the replacement belt
• Checked that the shimming of the pulleys was set correctly
• Carried out final checks before handing the machine back

Once the work was complete, the customer tested the machine to make sure the issue had been resolved.

The Results

The new drive belt and correct pulley setup made a clear difference to the way the machine drove. Performance improved, the machine ran as it should, and the customer was very pleased with the result.

Customer Quote

This job is a good example of how Farm and Fleet Services helps customers get to the root of a problem and put it right properly. By identifying the worn drive belt and making sure the pulleys were correctly shimmed, the team restored the Ranger Diesel machine to a much better standard of performance.
