Equipment, Maintenance & Hay Operations

Your machines, your hay, your costs —
tracked from the field, even off the grid.

Stay ahead of maintenance, run hay from cutting to the stack yard, and know what every machine and bale actually costs — all from your phone, with no signal required.

Stop chasing breakdowns. Start staying ahead.

From the field to the books

Machines you maintain. Hay you make. Costs that follow them everywhere.

Equipment

Types, status, photos, parts, and fuel — per machine.

Maintenance

PM schedules: good, due soon, or overdue.

Hay

Cut, rake, bale, haul — with real cost per bale.

The most expensive repair is the one you could have prevented.

You run the machines. RanchOS keeps the schedule, the history, and the cost. That's the whole deal.

Open it on your phone, see what's due, get back to work.

The questions you actually ask

Real questions. Plain answers.

“When is that tractor due for service?”

RanchOS tracks it for you. Each machine shows what's good, what's due soon, and what's overdue — so the oil change doesn't become a new engine.

“How much have I spent on this machine?”

Fuel, parts, maintenance, and labor roll up per machine. No more guessing whether the old baler is worth keeping.

“Where did that bale come from — and what did it cost?”

Cut, raked, baled, hauled. Every bale carries its cost from the field to the stack yard to the feed bunk. Feed cost is real, not a guess.

“Can I even use this out where there's no signal?”

Yes. Bale in a back field, log fuel at the shop, mark a windrow on the move — offline. It syncs the moment you're back in range.

Built for the field

Works where you actually work

Hay doesn't get made where the cell tower reaches. Neither does most of your equipment work. The app keeps up anyway.

Bale where the hay is

Cutting, raking, and baling all happen out in the field — usually past the last bar of signal. RanchOS records it anyway.

Log fuel and repairs anywhere

At the shop, at the fuel tank, in the pasture. Write it down when it happens, not when you find a notebook.

Syncs when you're back in range

Drive back to the house and the app catches up on its own. Nothing for you to remember, nothing to re-enter.

Most ranch software pretends offline doesn't matter. We built RanchOS offline-first because you're going to use it where there's no signal — in the back field, at the shop, on the stack yard — and we'd rather you trust it than fight it.

Preventive maintenance

Stay ahead of the service, not behind the breakdown.

Build a PM template once — an oil change, a grease interval, a filter swap — then assign it to every machine it fits. RanchOS works out the due-state for you: good, due soon, or overdue.

When a machine needs attention, you'll know before it leaves you stranded mid-field.

Per-machine schedules with a computed good / due-soon / overdue state.

Full maintenance history — what was done, the parts used, and the labor.

Parts inventory that draws down as you complete the work.

Set a PM template once

Oil change every 250 hours. Grease every 50. Define it once, then assign it to every machine it applies to.

Know what's due at a glance

Each schedule shows good, due soon, or overdue. The machine that needs attention rises to the top.

Keep the whole history

Every service logged — what was done, the parts used, the labor. Pull up a machine and see its whole life.

GPS-tracked, field to yard

Run hay the whole way through

Cut, rake, bale, haul. RanchOS follows the hay across every step — and the rake-offset windrows record where the hay actually ended up, not where you started the pass.

1

Cut & windrow

GPS-tracked cutting lays down the windrow where the hay actually fell.

2

Rake

Rake-offset positioning records the new windrow at the right distance — so the map shows where the hay really is, not where you started.

3

Bale

Bale the windrow and the bales inherit their place and their production cost.

4

Haul to the yard

Pick up bales and haul them to a stack yard. Inventory updates as they land.

The map shows where the hay is — because the rake offset is built into how the windrow is recorded. No more walking the field to find what you cut.

True cost tracking

Feed cost that's real, not guessed.

Production cost follows the bale from the field, into the stack yard, and out to the feed bunk. RanchOS uses a weighted-average cost per bale, so when you feed a bale, the cost is the real one.

And it doesn't stop at hay. Fuel, maintenance, and feed flow into the bookkeeping system — so cost per machine and cost per head add up on their own.

Stack yard inventory blended to a weighted-average cost per bale.

Fuel logged with cost, rolled up per machine.

Costs connect to bookkeeping — no double entry.
