Maintenance Tips

Engine Oil & Filter: Change engine oil and filter every 250 hours using a high-quality oil that meets Ford New Holland specifications. Regular changes are crucial for engine longevity.
Hydraulic System: Check hydraulic fluid levels regularly and replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. Contaminated hydraulic fluid can damage pumps and valves.
Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and replace the fuel filter every 250 hours. This will prevent fuel injector issues and maintain optimal engine performance. Consider using a fuel additive, especially during winter months, to prevent gelling.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your 8260 for the off-season, stabilize the fuel, lubricate all grease fittings, and disconnect the battery. This helps prevent corrosion and ensures easy starting when you're ready to use it again.
