Machinery uses AI to take the guesswork out of equipment maintenance. Snap a photo of your tractor, mower, or shop tool, and Machinery identifies it, builds a maintenance schedule, and keeps you on track — so nothing falls through the cracks. SMART EQUIPMENT TRACKING Add equipment with just a photo. Machinery's AI identifies the manufacturer, model, year, and specs automatically. Track hours, miles, or cycles with usage readings that keep your maintenance schedule accurate. AI MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES Get a complete maintenance schedule tailored to your exact equipment model — oil changes, filter replacements, belt inspections, and more. Machinery tells you what's due, what's coming up, and what's overdue. Never miss a service interval again. DIAGNOSTIC ASSISTANT Something not running right? Describe the symptom and Machinery's AI assistant diagnoses probable causes, suggests fixes, and walks you through repairs step by step. It knows your equipment's specs, maintenance history, and common problems. PARTS FINDER Need a part? Machinery finds OEM part numbers and cross-references from multiple suppliers so you can compare prices and get the right fit. No more guessing at part numbers or compatibility. MAINTENANCE LOG & RECEIPTS Log completed maintenance with photos and receipts. Keep a full service history for every piece of equipment — useful for resale value, warranty claims, and knowing what's been done. RECALL ALERTS & COMMON PROBLEMS See known recalls and common issues reported for your equipment model, so you can stay ahead of problems before they leave you stranded in the field. BUILT FOR FARMS & SHOPS Whether you're managing a fleet of tractors, a shop full of tools, or a mix of both — Machinery scales with you. Organize everything in one place with a clean, fast interface designed for people who work with their hands. FREE & PRO Track up to 3 pieces of equipment with full AI features for free. Upgrade to Machinery Pro ($7.99/month or $59.99/year) to unlock unlimited AI-enriched equipment, the diagnostic assistant, cross-reference parts, receipt storage, and more.
