Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 1000 hours or annually. Use only John Deere Hy-Gard hydraulic fluid to maintain the system's performance and prevent premature wear.
Fuel System: Use a fuel conditioner additive to prevent fuel gelling and keep fuel injectors clean, especially during seasonal storage. Drain the water separator regularly to remove any accumulated water and prevent corrosion.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your tractor for the off-season, fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation, disconnect the battery, and store it in a cool, dry place. Grease all fittings and check tire pressure to prevent flat-spotting.
