Maintenance Tips
- Change engine oil and filter every 250 hours using the recommended oil type and a genuine John Deere or quality aftermarket filter.
- Regularly inspect and service the hydraulic system, checking for leaks and replacing filters according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This prevents costly hydraulic pump or valve damage.
- Keep the fuel system clean by using high-quality fuel and replacing fuel filters as scheduled. Consider using a fuel additive to prevent gelling in cold weather.
- Before seasonal storage, drain the fuel tank, add a fuel stabilizer, and ensure the tractor is stored in a dry location. This helps prevent corrosion and fuel degradation.
