- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic oil levels and filter regularly, replacing filters at recommended intervals (usually every 500 hours) to prevent contamination and ensure smooth hydraulic operation.
- Fuel System: Use clean, fresh diesel fuel and check the fuel filter regularly. Drain any water accumulation from the fuel tank to prevent fuel system issues and injector damage.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, fill the fuel tank to minimize condensation, change engine oil and filters, grease all lubrication points, and disconnect the battery to prevent drain.
