Even though a solenoid is a relatively simple device, it can lead you down the wrong diagnostic path if a few key elements are not recognized. This week I take an in-depth look at what you need to know.

Success on the farm or ranch requires efficient machinery. I am Ray Bohacz, the Hot Rod Farmer from New Jersey, and I want to help you maximize the reliability of your equipment.

Please join me every Saturday at 11:00 am Eastern for Farm Machinery Digest Radio, where steel and soil meet, on Rural Radio, Sirius/XM Channel 147, with a replay Sunday at 6:00 pm Eastern.

But if you miss an episode or you want to hear it again, you will find them here. Thank you for listening and never forget… agriculture runs on machinery but profits on reliability!
