5 Tips to Save Time on the Job Site
As a farmer or landscaper, you know the dawn-to-dusk work schedule and the fast pace of seasonal work. But your time is precious and it's not to be wasted. So, let's talk about five quick tips that will get your work done faster and without a hitch.
Time Saving Tips for the Work Site
1. Choose the Right Attachment for the Job
You wouldn't use a hammer to tighten a bolt. You know it's important to use the right tool for the task.
With the right attachment, you won't waste time trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. So, know the job, know the right attachment for the job, and get it done.
Know what jobs are most common on the job site and invest in the attachment designed to do them. It'll save you time, effort, and money. Win-win-win.
2. Use Multi-Function Attachments
Sometimes, in your work you need to be able to do a little bit of everything. While it's impossible for any attachment to do absolutely everything, there are options available for attachments that can do more than one job.
For example, the Tomahawk snow bucket in winter transforms into a mulch bucket in the summer. A tool like this can be used year-round for a cost-effective option.
Hook-up attachments that can handle digging, grading, and loading without constant switching. You'll spend less time changing tools and more time getting work done.
3. Use the Quick-Tach System
The Quick-Tach system is a universal system we see industry leaders using more often.
The system is designed with work in mind. If the work demands two or more attachments, the Quick-Tach system offers a quick way to detach one attachment and get the next one connected. A great way to reduce downtime.

4. Preventive Maintenance
They say "An ounce of prevention is a pound of the cure." It's really great advice even if I don't know who "they" are.
When you're on the job site, the last thing you want is an equipment breakdown. Stay ahead of mechanical issues and unexpected repairs through a preventive maintenance program. It'll help your equipment stay in great shape and help you get the job done that little bit faster.

5. Plan and Organize Work in Advance
Time wasted is work wasted. Decide what your goals for the day are and structure your tasks accordingly. Get the big projects done first so the smaller ones will be quicker. "Move the big rocks first and the smaller ones will be a breeze."
Know your worksite and its geography and plan out how you want to approach it. Plan the order of your work and where the work will be done so you don't need to backtrack from one side of the site to the other.
A great plan is the blueprint for a successful day!
