Maintenance Tips

Engine Oil & Filter: Change engine oil and filter every 100-125 hours using the recommended oil type (typically 15W-40) and a high-quality filter to ensure optimal engine lubrication and longevity.
Hydraulic System: Regularly inspect hydraulic fluid levels and check for leaks. Change hydraulic fluid and filters every 500 hours to prevent contamination and maintain proper hydraulic system performance.
Fuel System: Use clean fuel and add a fuel stabilizer, especially during seasonal storage, to prevent fuel degradation and injector clogging. Also, inspect and clean the fuel filter regularly.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, drain fluids susceptible to freezing, grease all lubrication points, and cover the exhaust pipe to prevent moisture from entering the engine.
