Maintenance Tips

  • Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation using a high-quality diesel engine oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications. Regularly check the oil level and top off as needed.
  • Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks regularly. Replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours or as recommended in the operator's manual to prevent contamination and maintain optimal performance.
  • Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel. Drain the fuel tank sediment bowl regularly to remove water and debris. Replace the fuel filter annually or after every 500 hours of operation to prevent fuel starvation and engine damage.
  • Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, grease all lubrication points, and disconnect the battery. Store the tractor in a dry, covered location to protect it from the elements.
