e job duties requested are only performed during the winter months when equipment is removed from
field operation and is no longer in use. During this off-season period, the primary responsibilities center
around the winterization, inspection, maintenance, and repair of all farm equipment and vehicles to
ensure their longevity and readiness for the next operational season. Winterization duties include
draining fluids such as fuel, oil, and coolant; adding fuel stabilizers; disconnecting or removing batteries;
lubricating moving parts; sealing engine and cab openings to prevent rodent infestation; applying
protective coatings to exposed metal surfaces to guard against corrosion; and conducting a general
assessment to prepare equipment for long-term storage. In addition to winterization, the position requires
post-and preseason inspections of all vehicles and machinery to evaluate wear and tear and identify any
mechanical issues. The role involves dismantling defective machines; reassembling machines and
components; and testing the operation of critical systems such as hydraulics, drivetrains, and electrical
components. Tasks include testing and replacing electrical wiring and parts using test meters, soldering
tools, and hand tools; replacing or repairing defective or worn parts; fabricating new metal parts when
necessary; and patching or replacing bent or torn sheet metal. Additional responsibilities include cleaning
equipment, parts, and tools; installing replacement parts; testing electrical circuits for safety and function;
applying paint or protective coatings; inspecting equipment for structural defects or wear; and repairing or
replacing mechanical and structural components. During periods of snow accumulation, the position
includes snow removal responsibilities. This involves operating snow removal equipment to clear snow
from driveways, access roads, and equipment paths. Sand or salt may be applied to maintain safe
walking and driving conditions around work zones. Timely snow removal is essential to prevent
disruption in daily operations. Daily duties may vary. The employer reserves the right to increase
workers' pay or provide bonuses based on tenure, performance, or other factors that are solely based on
the discretion of the employer.
