This community service activity aimed to improve farmers’ knowledge and skills in conducting periodic maintenance of hand tractors to support the sustainability of agricultural activities following a disaster in Gunuang Rajo, Batipuh District, Tanah Datar Regency. The activity was conducted from August 7 to 10, 2026, involving 10 participants representing 10 farmer groups. The methods included material delivery, demonstrations, hands-on practice, development and implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and mentoring. Evaluation was conducted through pre-tests, post-tests, and observation of participants’ practical skills. The results showed a 20% increase in participants’ knowledge. Maintenance practices were carried out on five hand tractors, consisting of three diesel-powered and two gasoline-powered units; four units received periodic maintenance, while one unit was found to have severe damage. Participants also demonstrated improved ability to perform inspection and maintenance procedures. This activity is important for strengthening farmer groups’ independence in implementing preventive maintenance sustainably.
