- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 500 hours to maintain optimal performance and prevent contamination.
- Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and consider adding a fuel stabilizer during seasonal storage to prevent fuel degradation and algae growth. Drain the fuel/water separator regularly.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for an extended period, ensure all fluids are topped off, lubricate all grease points, and protect the tires from direct sunlight to prevent dry rot.
