Recently, it is reconsidered that daily checkup and maintenance of agricultural machinery is very important for efficient and safe usage of machines. In this study we called the check and maintenance performed by a farmer oneself as the "Precautionary Maintenance" and discussed the contents and method of this maintenance. Materials and data of daily check-up for the "Precautionary Maintenance" of tractor were obtained from 64 farmers in 5 prefectures in Kyushu Island. The survey brought about the percentage of actual practice of the check and maintenance is 72, 45, 63 % for engine, power transmission and traveling with braking, and hydraulic device and mounting unit, respectively, however, most of farmers requested a technical expert to check and maintain electric systems and automatic control systems. In addition, 56 % of farmer carried out the check before a shed storage by themselves. Many farmers taking a practical training course for tractor maintenance held by agricultural cooperatives or a dealer of a company of agricultural industry performed the maintenance by themselves comparing with farmers not taking the training course. Therefore, it is effective for the "Precautionary Maintenance" by a farmer oneself to spread and complete the training course.
