Phoenix Cropping has a machinery maintenance recording system incorporated into the program. You can maintain detailed records for each machinery item which in turn provides a per hour or per hectare maintenance cost.
Click the Machinery button on the toolbar 
On the left is the list of machinery items created through setup. If additional machinery items need to be added, click 
to take you back to machinery setup.
The maintenance history for the machine highlighted will be displayed in the main right hand panel. At the base of this panel is the calculated maintenance cost per measurement unit.
Below is the Notes panel. These notes are created at the time of setup. Information such as filter numbers, oil quantity required, points size, etc are created for easy reference at the time a maintenance activity will be carried out.
