Maintenance Tips
- Change engine oil and filter every 100-150 hours of operation, using a high-quality oil formulated for diesel or gasoline engines, depending on your tractor's engine type.
- Regularly inspect and maintain the hydraulic system. Check the fluid level and condition, and replace the hydraulic filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 300-500 hours).
- Keep the fuel system clean by using fuel additives to prevent algae growth and water accumulation, especially during seasonal storage. Drain the fuel sediment bowl regularly.
- Before storing the tractor for extended periods, drain the fuel tank (or add a fuel stabilizer), change the engine oil, and grease all lubrication points to prevent corrosion and ensure easy starting when the tractor is put back into service.
