The increasing complexity of farm machinery means that more often than not, it is an electrical fault which brings things to a grinding halt rather than a mechanical issue.
While most of us don't have the ability to diagnose complex issues or interpret error codes, there is much that can be done with a good basic set of electrical tools and a keen eye for a severed wire or dry connection.
Many mechanically minded farmers would make sure their toolboxes are well-stocked with every conceivable spanner or socket set but may not pay a lot of attention to their electrical repair tools which are just as important.
