Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil and Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 500 hours of operation, or annually, using the recommended John Deere engine oil and filter. This ensures proper lubrication and prevents engine wear.
- Hydraulic System Maintenance: Check the hydraulic oil level regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 1000 hours. Inspect hydraulic lines and fittings for leaks and repair promptly to prevent contamination and loss of hydraulic performance.
- Fuel System Care: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and replace the fuel filter every 500 hours. Drain the water separator regularly to prevent water accumulation in the fuel system, which can lead to injector damage and reduced performance.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, stabilize the fuel, lubricate all grease fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered location to protect it from the elements.
